Merge tag 'usb-6.4-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb
Pull USB fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are some USB driver and core fixes for 6.4-rc5. Most of these are
tiny driver fixes, including:
- udc driver bugfix
- f_fs gadget driver bugfix
- cdns3 driver bugfix
- typec bugfixes
But the "big" thing in here is a fix yet-again for how the USB buffers
are handled from userspace when dealing with DMA issues. The changes
were discussed a lot, and tested a lot, on the list, and acked by the
relevant mm maintainers and have been in linux-next all this past week
with no reported problems"
