This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: ehci: fix deadlock when threadirqs option is used
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-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: usb: ehci: fix deadlock when threadirqs option is used
ehci_irq() and ehci_hrtimer_func() can deadlock on ehci->lock when
threadirqs option is used. To prevent the deadlock use
spin_lock_irqsave() in ehci_irq().
This change can be reverted when hrtimer callbacks become threaded.
