This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: pci-quirks: Prevent Sony VAIO t-series from switching usb ports
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: pci-quirks: Prevent Sony VAIO t-series from switching usb ports
Sony VAIO t-series machines are not capable of switching usb2 ports over
from Intel EHCI to xHCI controller. If tried the USB2 port will be left
unconnected and unusable.
This patch should be backported to stable kernels as old as 3.12,
that contain the commit 26b76798e0507429506b93cd49f8c4cfdab06896
"Intel xhci: refactor EHCI/xHCI port switching"
