This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: qcserial avoid pointing to freed memory
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb-2.6.git
in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also will be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: usb: qcserial avoid pointing to freed memory
Rework the qcprobe logic such that serial->private is not set when
qcprobe exits with -ENODEV, otherwise serial->private will point to freed
memory on -ENODEV
