This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: phy: mxs: Fix NULL pointer dereference on i.MX23/28
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: phy: mxs: Fix NULL pointer dereference on i.MX23/28
Commit e93650994a95 ("usb: phy: mxs: add usb charger type detection")
causes the following kernel hang on i.MX28:
[ 2.207973] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
[ 2.235659] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000188
[ 2.244195] pgd = (ptrval)
[ 2.246994] [00000188] *pgd=00000000
[ 2.250676] Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] ARM
[ 2.254979] Modules linked in:
[ 2.258089] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 4.15.0-rc8-next-20180117-00002-g75d5f21 #7
[ 2.266724] Hardware name: Freescale MXS (Device Tree)
[ 2.271921] PC is at regmap_read+0x0/0x5c
[ 2.275977] LR is at mxs_phy_charger_detect+0x34/0x1dc
mxs_phy_charger_detect() makes accesses to the anatop registers via regmap,
however i.MX23/28 do not have such registers, which causes a NULL pointer
dereference.
Fix the issue by doing a NULL check on the 'regmap' pointer.
