This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: sierra: fix potential deadlock at close
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree

Subject: USB: serial: sierra: fix potential deadlock at close
The portdata spinlock can be taken in interrupt context (via
sierra_outdat_callback()).
Disable interrupts when taking the portdata spinlock when discarding
deferred URBs during close to prevent a possible deadlock.
