This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: leds: fix regression in usbport led trigger
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.

The patch "usb: simplify usbport trigger" together with "leds: triggers: add device attribute support" caused an regression for the usbport trigger. it will no longer enumerate any active usb hub ports under the "ports" directory in the sysfs class directory, if the usb host drivers are fully initialized before the usbport trigger was loaded.
The reason is that the usbport driver tries to register the sysfs entries during the activate() callback. And this will fail with -2 / ENOENT because the patch "leds: triggers: add device attribute support" made it so that the sysfs "ports" group was only being added after the activate() callback succeeded.
This version of the patch reverts parts of the "usb: simplify usbport trigger" patch and restores usbport trigger's functionality.
