patch "usb: hub: do not clear BOS field during reset device" added to usb-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

    usb: hub: do not clear BOS field during reset device

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: hub: do not clear BOS field during reset device

In function usb_reset_and_verify_device, the old BOS descriptor may
still be used before allocating a new one. (usb_unlocked_disable_lpm
function uses it under the situation that it fails to disable lpm.)
So we cannot set the udev->bos to NULL before that, just keep what it
was. It will be overwrite when allocating a new one.
