[gregkh]

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

    usb: xhci: avoid renesas_usb_fw.mem when it's unusable

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: xhci: avoid renesas_usb_fw.mem when it's unusable

Commit a66d21d7dba8 ("usb: xhci: Add support for Renesas controller with
memory") added renesas_usb_fw.mem firmware reference to xhci-pci.  Thus
modinfo indicates xhci-pci.ko has "firmware: renesas_usb_fw.mem".  But
the firmware is only actually used with CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI_RENESAS.  An
unusable firmware reference can trigger safety checkers which look for
drivers with unmet firmware dependencies.

Avoid referring to renesas_usb_fw.mem in circumstances when it cannot be
loaded (when CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI_RENESAS isn't set).
