This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
xhci: init command timeout timer earlier to avoid deleting it
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.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 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: xhci: init command timeout timer earlier to avoid deleting it
uninitialized
Don't check if timer is running with a timer_pending() before
deleting it with del_timer_sync(), this defies the whole point of
the sync part and can cause a possible race.
Instead we just want to make sure the timer is initialized early enough
before we have a chance to delete it.
