This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: cp210x: fix partnum regression
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: USB: serial: cp210x: fix partnum regression
When adding GPIO support for the cp2105, the mentioned commit by Martyn
Welch introduced a query for the part number of the chip. Unfortunately
the driver aborts probing when this query fails, so currently the driver
can not be used with chips not supporting this query.
I have a data cable for Siemens mobile phones (ID 10ab:10c5) where this
is the case.
With this patch the driver can be bound even if the part number can not
be queried.
Fixes: cf5276ce7867 ("USB: serial: cp210x: Adding GPIO support for CP2105")
