This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
software node: Allow node addition to already existing device
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-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: software node: Allow node addition to already existing device
If the node is added to an already exiting device, the node
needs to be also linked to the device separately.
This will make sure the reference count is kept in balance
also when the node is injected to a device afterwards.
Fixes: e68d0119e328 ("software node: Introduce device_add_software_node()")
