This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: additional regression fix for device removal
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.

Commit e534c5b831c8b8e9f5edee5c8a37753c808b80dc (USB: fix regression
occurring during device removal) didn't go far enough. It failed to
take into account that when a driver claims multiple interfaces, it may
release them all at the same time. As a result, some interfaces can
get released before they are unregistered, and we deadlock trying to
acquire the bandwidth_mutex that we already own.
This patch (asl478) handles this case by setting the "unregistering"
flag on all the interfaces before removing any of them.
