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

    staging: gdm724x: gdm_mux: fix use-after-free on module unload

to my staging git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git

Subject: staging: gdm724x: gdm_mux: fix use-after-free on module unload

Make sure to deregister the USB driver before releasing the tty driver
to avoid use-after-free in the USB disconnect callback where the tty
devices are deregistered.
