This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
vt6655: Fix late setting of byRFType.
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-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: vt6655: Fix late setting of byRFType.
byRFType is not set prior to registration of mac80211 causing
unpredictable operation after channel scans.
With byRFType unset all channels are enabled this causes tx power
to be set to values not present its eeprom.
Move setting of this variable to vt6655_probe.
byRFType must have a mask set. byRevId not used by driver and
is removed.
