patch "drivers: staging: nvec: remove bogus reset command for PS/2 interface" added to staging-linus

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

drivers: staging: nvec: remove bogus reset command for PS/2 interface

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: drivers: staging: nvec: remove bogus reset command for PS/2 interface

This command was sent behind serio's back and the answer to it was confusing atkbd probe function which lead to the elantech touchpad getting detected as a keyboard.

To prevent this from happening just let every party do its part of the job.
