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

staging: rtl8188eu: fix interface sanity check

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.)

Subject: staging: rtl8188eu: fix interface sanity check

Make sure to use the current alternate setting when verifying the interface descriptors to avoid binding to an invalid interface.

Failing to do so could cause the driver to misbehave or trigger a WARN() in usb_submit_urb() that kernels with panic_on_warn set would choke on.
