This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
mei: don't unset read cb ptr on reset
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-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: mei: don't unset read cb ptr on reset
Don't set read callback to NULL during reset as
this leads to memory leak of both cb and its buffer.
The memory is correctly freed during mei_release.
The memory leak is detectable by kmemleak if
application has open read call while system is going through
suspend/resume.
