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

USB: Fix device driver race

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: Fix device driver race

When a new device with a specialised device driver is plugged in, the new driver will be modprobe()'d but the driver core will attach the "generic" driver to the device.

After that, nothing will trigger a reprobe when the modprobe()'d device driver has finished initialising, as the device has the "generic" driver attached to it.

Trigger a reprobe ourselves when new specialised drivers get registered.
