I'm sorry, but I have to reject this patch, mostly because it comes
in an unacceptable format. Please see the README for patch submission
rules. Sending separate patches for each affected source file is
simply not acceptable.
Also, please fix the following Coding Style issues before
re-submitting:
* Please keep lists sorted (like board names in MAKEALL)
* Remove trailing white spaces (for example: include/configs/ep85xxm.h)
* Use TAB for indentation instead of spaces (for example: board/ep85xxm/init.S)
* Indent by 8 character positions (TABs) (for example: include/configs/ep85xxm.h)
Also, I consider it a very bad ide to hard-wire MAC and IP addreses
in the board config file. And pre-defining constants like "unknown"
for hostname, "/nfsroot" for rootpath or "your.uImage" for bootfile
is, well, let's say not very helpful. If there are no useful common
setttings it is better NOT to set such variables at all.
Finally, I recommend to use "${...}" variable syntax in all your
definitions, as this makes it possible to switch command line parsers
without need to change the environment definitions.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
