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

USB: core: fix device node leak

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-testing 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 be merged to the usb-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: USB: core: fix device node leak

Make sure to release any OF device-node reference taken when creating the USB device.

Note that we currently do not hold a reference to the root hub device-tree node (i.e. the parent controller node).
