This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: amplc_pci224: Fix PCI ref count
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-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: staging: comedi: amplc_pci224: Fix PCI ref count
When attaching a PCI device manually via the comedi driver `attach` hook
(`pci224_attach()`) (called by the comedi core for the
`COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl), its reference count is incremented in the
`for_each_pci_dev` loop (in `pci224_find_pci_dev()`). It is decremented
when the `detach` hook (`pci224_detach()`) is called to detach the
device. However, when the PCI device is attached automatically via the
`attach_pci` hook (`pci224_attach_pci()`, called at probe time via
`comedi_pci_auto_config()`) it's reference count is not incremented so
there will be an unmatched decrement when detaching the device.
Increment the PCI device reference count in `pci224_attach_pci()` to
correct the mismatch.
Once support for manual configuration has been removed from this driver,
the calls to `pci_dev_get()` and `pci_dev_put()` can be removed.
