patch "usb: typec: tcpm: fix logbuffer index is wrong if _tcpm_log is" added to usb-linus

[gregkh]

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

    usb: typec: tcpm: fix logbuffer index is wrong if _tcpm_log is

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: typec: tcpm: fix logbuffer index is wrong if _tcpm_log is
 re-entered

The port->logbuffer_head may be wrong if the two processes enters
_tcpm_log at the mostly same time. The 2nd process enters _tcpm_log
before the 1st process update the index, then the 2nd process will
not allocate logbuffer, when the 2nd process tries to use log buffer,
the index has already updated by the 1st process, so it will get
NULL pointer for updated logbuffer, the error message like below:

	tcpci 0-0050: Log buffer index 6 is NULL
