[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

    driver core: Add missing dev->bus->need_parent_lock checks

to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-testing 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 be merged to the driver-core-next branch sometime soon,

Subject: driver core: Add missing dev->bus->need_parent_lock checks

__device_release_driver() has to check dev->bus->need_parent_lock
before dropping the parent lock and acquiring it again as it may
attempt to drop a lock that hasn't been acquired or lock a device
that shouldn't be locked and create a lock imbalance.

Fixes: 8c97a46af04b (driver core: hold dev's parent lock when needed)
