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

usb: roles: Take care of driver module reference counting

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.

This fixes potential "BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ..." from happening.
