This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
vcs: prevent write access to vcsu devices
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: vcs: prevent write access to vcsu devices
Commit d21b0be246bf ("vt: introduce unicode mode for /dev/vcs") guarded
against using devices containing attributes as this is not yet
implemented. It however failed to guard against writes to any devices
as this is also unimplemented.
