This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: ch341: fix type promotion bug in ch341_control_in()
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: ch341: fix type promotion bug in ch341_control_in()
The "r" variable is an int and "bufsize" is an unsigned int so the
comparison is type promoted to unsigned. If usb_control_msg() returns a
negative that is treated as a high positive value and the error handling
doesn't work.
