Subject: USB tree now closed for 3.11

Hi all,

With the release of the 3.10-rc7 kernel, I think it's time to close the
USB tree for new features / cleanups for 3.11. So I'm closing my
tree, and will only be applying obvious bugfixes or regressions to it
until 3.11-rc1 comes out.

You can keep sending me patches for the tree that don't fit the "bugfix"
category, but note that I'll be storing them away to wait for 3.11-rc1
comes out, which might be a few weeks, so please be patient.

The USB tree right now contains 382 patches, and the diffstat
summary is:
410 files changed, 18183 insertions(+), 4956 deletions(-)

thanks,

greg k-h

Instead of storing away new patches where people can't easily get at
them, you could create a temporary branch to hold them until 3.11-rc1
is released. Would that involve a significant amount of extra work?

Yes that would, because I'm busy doing other merge-related things for
these next 3 weeks, I don't have the time to be building a new tree. I
supposed you could always use patchwork to see the pending patches, but
I need this time "away" from applying patches to catch up on my other
tasks.

sorry,
