This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: dwc3: pci: PHY should be deleted later than dwc3 core to the 3.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: usb-dwc3-pci-phy-should-be-deleted-later-than-dwc3-core.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From f28c42c576b293b3a1daaed8ca2775ebc2fe5398 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Chen <peter.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 14:29:20 +0800 Subject: usb: dwc3: pci: PHY should be deleted later than dwc3 core From: Peter Chen <peter.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit f28c42c576b293b3a1daaed8ca2775ebc2fe5398 upstream. If the glue layer is removed first (core layer later), it deletes the phy device first, then the core device. But at core's removal, it still uses PHY's resources, it may cause kernel's oops. It is much like the problem Paul Zimmerman reported at: http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=136547502011472&w=2. Besides, it is reasonable the PHY is deleted at last as the controller is the PHY's user.
