No, this is actually trivial. Use the toolbox:

	bash$ egrep '^\+.*[^I ]$' u-boot-imx1.diff  | wc -l
	     21

There are 21 cases where you insert trailing whitespace.

There are 39 cases where you use space instead of TAB for indentation.

There are 9 cases where you use C++ comments in non-C++ files.

There are 5 cases where you use DOS '\r\n' line feeds

There is one case where you add more than 2 empty lines to a source file

There are 4 cases where you add trailing empty lines to source files

Please cleanup and resubmit.

It seems the patch does more than just this. For example, I see  that
it modifies the code for interrupt handling for all ARM9 systems?

Please make sure the description is complete.

If the patch is clean this is not necessary.



Best regards,
