This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

staging: speakup: fix speakup-r regression

to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git

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.

Subject: staging: speakup: fix speakup-r regression

Here is a patch to make speakup-r work again.

It broke in 3.6 due to commit 4369c64c79a22b98d3b7eff9d089196cd878a10a "Input: Send events one packet at a time)

The problem was that the fakekey.c routine to fake a down arrow no longer functioned properly and putting the input_sync fixed it.

Fixes 4369c64c79a22b98d3b7eff9d089196cd878a10a
