Re: [PATCH] staging: comedi: Improved readability of function comedi_nsamples_left.

[chris]

Hi Greg,
I've added changelog text to the patch below. Appreciate your 
feedback!
Regards,
Chris Opperman

>8----------------------------------------------------------------------8<

Improved the readability of comedi_nsamples_left:
a) Reduced nesting by using more return calls.
b) Separated variable declarations from code.
c) Using kernel integer types.
