This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: greybus: loopback: fix broken udelay
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release

Subject: staging: greybus: loopback: fix broken udelay
The loopback driver allows the user to set a minimum delay of up to one
second to be inserted between test iterations (i.e. request
submissions). The delay is currently specified in microseconds and is
implemented using udelay.
Busy looping for long periods is not just anti-social; udelay must not
be used for delays longer than a few milliseconds due to the risk of
integer overflow.
Replace the broken udelay with a usleep_range with a 100 us range for
short delays (< 20 ms) and otherwise revert to using msleep.
Fixes: b36f04fa9417 ("greybus: loopback: Convert thread delay to microseconds")
