The driver relied on numerous other patches for other subsystems
(those patches were in linux-next). Today, of course, it's a
stand-alone stuff, but indeed because everything else was merged
_during_ the .29 merge window.

And since your usb tree is based on Linus' tree, I had to wait for
those patches go in before asking you to merge the driver itself.

Is there anything in the work-flow that I could improve next time?

Thanks,
