patch "misc/uss720: fix memory leak in uss720_probe" added to usb-linus

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

misc/uss720: fix memory leak in uss720_probe

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: misc/uss720: fix memory leak in uss720_probe

uss720_probe forgets to decrease the refcount of usbdev in uss720_probe. Fix this by decreasing the refcount of usbdev by usb_put_dev.
