This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: cdc-acm: restore capability check order
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-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 usb-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

Subject: USB: cdc-acm: restore capability check order
commit b401f8c4f492c ("USB: cdc-acm: fix rounding error in TIOCSSERIAL")
introduced a regression by changing the order of capability and close
settings change checks. When running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN setting the
close settings to the values already set resulted in -EOPNOTSUPP.
Fix this by changing the check order back to how it was before.
