This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
xhci: fix null pointer dereference in stop command timeout function
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: xhci: fix null pointer dereference in stop command timeout function
The stop endpoint command has its own 5 second timeout timer.
If the timeout function is triggered between USB3 and USB2 host
removal it will try to call usb_hc_died(xhci_to_hcd(xhci)->primary_hcd)
the ->primary_hcd will be set to NULL at USB3 hcd removal.
Fix this by first checking if the PCI host is being removed, and
also by using only xhci_to_hcd() as it will always return the primary
hcd.
