This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
Staging: tidspbridge: disable driver
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-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: Staging: tidspbridge: disable driver
There seems to be no active maintainer for the driver, and there is an
unfixed security bug, so disable the driver for now.
Hopefully someone steps up to be the maintainer, and works to get this
out of staging, otherwise it will be deleted soon.
