This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: make module xhci_hcd removable
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: make module xhci_hcd removable
Fixed regression. After commit 29e409f0f761 ("xhci: Allow xHCI drivers to
be built as separate modules") the module xhci_hcd became non-removable.
That behaviour is not expected and there're no notes about it in commit
message. The module should be removable as it blocks PM suspend/resume
functions (Debian Bug#666406).
