Hi Johan,

    Thanks for your reminding. I am adjusting patch according to the latest Linux Master branch.

That should be the usb-next branch of the usb-serial tree:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/johan/usb-serial.git/

or linux-next (or, currently, Linus's master branch).

You can use "scripts/get_maintainer.sh --scm" to determine which tree to base your work against.
