So who's merging it ?

Give me a chance to at least wake up please :)

Sure ;-) Just asking since I'm about to cook up a powerpc batch :-)

It's now in my tree, and will get to Linus in time for 3.7.

Turns out I stuffed up the commit message a bit, I talk about kref_put
and tty_kref_put when I should be talking about tty_port_put.  If
there is still a chance to update the commit message, that would be
good.  The patch itself is correct.

I will.

Thanks ! It should go into stable 3.6 as well.

Why?  The offending patch didn't show up until 3.7-rc1.

Yes.  I had thought it was in 3.6 but it isn't.

Paul.
