Also, no merge conflicts where reported by SFR in Dec18 linux-next code with previous -v4 series patches.. That said, there have been no further discussion wrt configfs changes that introduce configfs_depend_item_unlocked(), or it's use with usb-gadget resource export for target mode operation. Joel, please let me know if you have concerns and/or objections wrt initial merge of configfs changes. Also, the usb-gadget target specific patches have been updated to include Sebastian's Acked-by tag. Sebastian, please let us know if there are further changes you'd like see ahead of initial merge.
