This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: cp210x: add Silicon Labs IDs for Windows Update
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.

Silicon Labs defines alternative VID/PID pairs for some chips that when used will automatically install drivers for Windows users without manual intervention. Unfortunately, these IDs are not recognized by the Linux module, so using these IDs improves user experience on one platform but degrades it on Linux. This patch addresses this problem.
