Subject: Re: [patch]USB autosuspend for cdc-ether

Hi Oliver,

Interesting patch, I'm going to try and add support for this
to smsc95xx.

A few things I noticed:

on EVENT_LINK_RESET you call usb_autopm_get_interface with no matching
usb_autopm_put_interface, so you leak 1 reference count and the device
never autosuspends.

The only change here is the addition of trailing whitespace (which both
checkpatch.pl and git complain about).  You should run your patch through
scripts/checkpatch.pl and fix these up.
