This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: fix interface refcounting
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: serial: fix interface refcounting
Make sure the interface is not released before our serial device.
Note that drivers are still not allowed to access the interface in
any way that may interfere with another driver that may have gotten
bound to the same interface after disconnect returns.
