This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: leave LPM alone if possible when binding/unbinding interface
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-testing 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 be merged to the usb-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: USB: leave LPM alone if possible when binding/unbinding interface
drivers
When a USB driver is bound to an interface (either through probing or
by claiming it) or is unbound from an interface, the USB core always
disables Link Power Management during the transition and then
re-enables it afterward. The reason is because the driver might want
to prevent hub-initiated link power transitions, in which case the HCD
would have to recalculate the various LPM parameters. This
recalculation takes place when LPM is re-enabled and the new
parameters are sent to the device and its parent hub.
However, if the driver does not want to prevent hub-initiated link
power transitions then none of this work is necessary. The parameters
don't need to be recalculated, and LPM doesn't need to be disabled and
re-enabled.
It turns out that disabling and enabling LPM can be time-consuming,
enough so that it interferes with user programs that want to claim and
release interfaces rapidly via usbfs. Since the usbfs kernel driver
doesn't set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag, we can speed things up
and get the user programs to work by leaving LPM alone whenever the
flag isn't set.
And while we're improving the way disable_hub_initiated_lpm gets used,
let's also fix its kerneldoc.
