I just picked it out of your git tree already :)

Along those lines, any objection to me taking at least one other one?
3f8757078d27 ("headers/prep: usb: gadget: Fix namespace collision") and
6fb993fa3832 ("headers/deps: USB: Optimize <linux/usb/ch9.h>
dependencies, remove <linux/device.h>") look like I can take now into my
USB tree with no problems.

thanks,
