This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
phy: renesas: rcar-gen3-usb2: Fix sysfs interface of "role"
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree

Subject: phy: renesas: rcar-gen3-usb2: Fix sysfs interface of "role"
Since the role_store() uses strncmp(), it's possible to refer
out-of-memory if the sysfs data size is smaller than strlen("host").
This patch fixes it by using sysfs_streq() instead of strncmp().
