patch "usb-storage: unusual_devs entry to fix write-access regression for" added to usb-linus

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

usb-storage: unusual_devs entry to fix write-access regression for

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-storage: unusual_devs entry to fix write-access regression for
Seagate external drives

Kris Lindgren reports that without the NO_WP_DETECT flag, his Seagate external disk drive fails all write accesses. This regresssion dates back approximately to the start of the 4.x kernel releases.
