This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: fix tty-device error handling at probe
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: serial: fix tty-device error handling at probe
Add missing error handling when registering the tty device at port
probe. This avoids trying to remove an uninitialised character device
when the port device is removed.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
