This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: roles: Call try_module_get() from
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.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: usb: roles: Call try_module_get() from
usb_role_switch_find_by_fwnode()
usb_role_switch_find_by_fwnode() returns a reference to the role-switch
which must be put by calling usb_role_switch_put().
usb_role_switch_put() calls module_put(sw->dev.parent->driver->owner),
add a matching try_module_get() to usb_role_switch_find_by_fwnode(),
making it behave the same as the other usb_role_switch functions
which return a reference.
This avoids a WARN_ON being hit at kernel/module.c:1158 due to the
module-refcount going below 0.
