Subject: [PATCH 138/139] staging: comedi: ni_labpc: set up command4 register *after* command3

3.5.7.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@....co.uk>

Commit 22056e2b46246d97ff0f7c6e21a77b8daa07f02c upstream.

Tuomas <tvainikk _at_ gmail _dot_ com> reported problems getting
meaningful output from a Lab-PC+ in differential mode for AI cmds, but
AI insn reads gave correct readings.  He tracked it down to two
problems, one of which is addressed by this patch.

It seems that writing to the command3 register after writing to the
command4 register in `labpc_ai_cmd()` messes up the differential
reference bit setting in the command4 register.  Set up the command4
register after the command3 register (as in `labpc_ai_rinsn()`) to avoid
the problem.

Thanks to Tuomas for suggesting the fix.
