This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: ipaq.c: fix a timeout loop
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: ipaq.c: fix a timeout loop
The code expects the loop to end with "retries" set to zero but, because
it is a post-op, it will end set to -1. I have fixed this by moving the
decrement inside the loop.
Fixes: 014aa2a3c32e ('USB: ipaq: minor ipaq_open() cleanup.')
