This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: udc: core: add device_del() call to error pathway 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. >From c93e64e91248becd0edb8f01723dff9da890e2ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2015 11:32:51 -0500 Subject: usb: udc: core: add device_del() call to error pathway This patch fixes a bug in the error pathway of usb_add_gadget_udc_release() in udc-core.c. If the udc registration fails, the gadget registration is not fully undone; there's a put_device(&gadget->dev) call but no device_del().
