This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: dwc3: core: don't forget to free coherent memory
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: dwc3: core: don't forget to free coherent memory
commit 3921426 (usb: dwc3: core: move
event buffer allocation out of
dwc3_core_init()) introduced a memory leak
of the coherent memory we use as event
buffers on dwc3 driver.
If the driver is compiled as a dynamically
loadable module and use constantly loads
and unloads the driver, we will continue
to leak the coherent memory allocated during
->probe() because dwc3_free_event_buffers()
is never called during ->remove().
