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

Revert "selftests: firmware: remove use of non-standard diff -Z

to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git

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: Revert "selftests: firmware: remove use of non-standard diff -Z
option"

This reverts commit f70b472e937bb659a7b7a14e64f07308e230888c.

This breaks testing on Debian, and this patch was NACKed anyway. The proper way to address this is a quirk for busybox as that is where the issue is present.
