This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: Accept bulk endpoints with 1024-byte maxpacket
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: Accept bulk endpoints with 1024-byte maxpacket
Some non-compliant high-speed USB devices have bulk endpoints with a
1024-byte maxpacket size. Although such endpoints don't work with
xHCI host controllers, they do work with EHCI controllers. We used to
accept these invalid sizes (with a warning), but we no longer do
because of an unintentional change introduced by commit aed9d65ac327
("USB: validate wMaxPacketValue entries in endpoint descriptors").
This patch restores the old behavior, so that people with these
peculiar devices can use them without patching their kernels by hand.
