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

staging: vt6656: set usb_set_intfdata on driver fail.

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

intfdata will contain stale pointer when the device is detached after failed initialization when referenced in vt6656_disconnect

Provide driver access to it here and NULL it.
