This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: vchiq_2835_arm: Fix NULL ptr dereference in free_pagelist
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-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: staging: vchiq_2835_arm: Fix NULL ptr dereference in free_pagelist
This fixes a NULL pointer dereference on RPi 2 with multi_v7_defconfig.
The function page_address() could return NULL with enabled CONFIG_HIGHMEM.
So fix this by using kmap() instead.
