This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: gdm724x: gdm_mux: fix use-after-free on module unload
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-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 staging-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

Subject: staging: gdm724x: gdm_mux: fix use-after-free on module unload
Make sure to deregister the USB driver before releasing the tty driver
to avoid use-after-free in the USB disconnect callback where the tty
devices are deregistered.
