This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: mct_u232: fix port-data memory leak
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: USB: mct_u232: fix port-data memory leak
Fix port-data memory leak by moving port data allocation and
deallocation to port_probe and port_remove.
Since commit 0998d0631001288 (device-core: Ensure drvdata = NULL when no
driver is bound) the port private data is no longer freed at release as
it is no longer accessible.
Note that the write waitqueue was initialised but never used.
Compile-only tested.
