This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
component: do not dereference opaque pointer in debugfs
to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-testing 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 be merged to the driver-core-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: component: do not dereference opaque pointer in debugfs
The match data does not have to be a struct device pointer, and indeed
very often is not. Attempt to treat it as such easily results in a
crash.
For the components that are not registered, we don't know which device
is missing. Once it it is there, we can use the struct component to get
the device and whether it's bound or not.
