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

USB: EHCI: declare hostpc register as zero-length array

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: EHCI: declare hostpc register as zero-length array

The HOSTPC extension registers found in some EHCI implementations form a variable-length array, with one element for each port. Therefore the hostpc field in struct ehci_regs should be declared as a zero-length array, not a single-element array.

This fixes a problem reported by UBSAN.
