This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: serial: cp210x: fix tiocmget error handling 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. >From de24e0a108bc48062e1c7acaa97014bce32a919f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2016 15:45:07 +0200 Subject: USB: serial: cp210x: fix tiocmget error handling The current tiocmget implementation would fail to report errors up the stack and instead leaked a few bits from the stack as a mask of modem-status flags.
