This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usbcore: Fix wrong device in an error message in hub_port_connect()
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: usbcore: Fix wrong device in an error message in hub_port_connect()
The commit [5ee0f803cc3a: usbcore: don't log on consecutive debounce
failures of the same port] added the check of the reliable port, but
it also replaced the device argument to dev_err() wrongly, which leads
to a NULL dereference.
This patch restores the right device, port_dev->dev. Also, since
dev_err() itself shows the port number, reduce the port number shown
in the error message, essentially reverting to the state before the
commit 5ee0f803cc3a.
[The fix suggested by Hannes, and the error message cleanup suggested
by Alan Stern]
