This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: handle NULL config in usb_find_alt_setting()
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: handle NULL config in usb_find_alt_setting()
usb_find_alt_setting() takes a pointer to a struct usb_host_config as
an argument; it searches for an interface with specified interface and
alternate setting numbers in that config. However, it crashes if the
usb_host_config pointer argument is NULL.
Since this is a general-purpose routine, available for use in many
places, we want to to be more robust. This patch makes it return NULL
whenever the config argument is NULL.
