Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fix default q_len for usb_f_printer gadget driver

Hi,

I submitted this a month ago, and aside from Peter Chen's "reviewed by" response I haven't heard anything nor seen it get merged.  I know you are all really busy and I don't want to be a pest - is there something else I need to do to advance this patch?

Thanks!
