patch "USB: storage: Remove subclass and protocol overrides from Novatek" added to usb-linus

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

USB: storage: Remove subclass and protocol overrides from Novatek

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: Remove subclass and protocol overrides from Novatek
quirk

A report from Oleg Smirnov indicates that the unusual_devs quirks entry for the Novatek camera does not need to override the subclass and protocol parameters:

                    Please send a copy of this message to

The overrides are harmless but they do provoke the driver into logging this annoying message. Update the entry to remove the unneeded entries.
