I'm not sure what's up with that.  I basically pulled down your usb-next
branch and then added these patches on top of them.  I do see a merge
commit by you (2af1084) on usb-next that says you merged in 2.6.37-rc5
to avoid a conflict, but gitk shows you pulled in 2.6.37-rc7.  The
for-usb-next branch is based on commit 2af1084.

Yes, most of them are just bug fixes, and I can wait until after -rc1.
Do you want the doorbell patch and the cleanup patches as well?  They're
not exactly bug fixes, but they are fairly small changes.
