[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH 1/11] Fix miscellaneous typos

[Wolfgang Denk]

Dear Keith,

I'm a bit unhappy about your patches.

First, I don't know how to make heads or tails out  of  it.

In this subject you write "PATCH 1/11" which looks as if this were  a
couple  of  related  patches  coming in 11 parts, but actually all of
them seem to be completely independent?

Then, I received patches 5/11, 8/11, 2/11, 11/11, 6/11,  1/11,  9/11,
and 4/11. What about parts 3, 5, 7, 9, and 10?

In message <OFBEDA0037.AED1556F-ON07257165.005DED58-07257165.005E506A at mck.us.ray.com> you wrote:

Where in the README does  it  say  that  a  CHANGELOG  entry  is  not
necessary for simple patches? I need this for each and every patch.


Then, you are violating the Coding Style requirements in a couple  of
places  (I  didn't  check  carefully  as  I was not able to apply the
patches [see below], but I've seen at least indentation  with  spaces
instead  of the required TABs, indentation not by multiples of 8, and
trailing white space.

Then you add nasty editor commands to your sources, like this one:
	/* vim: set ts=4 tw=80 sw=4 cindent fo=tcroq: */

All of this is bad, but this one is fatal and forces me to reject all
your patches as they are not usable: your  patches  are  line-wrapped
which makes it impossible to apply them; for example, in [PATCH 8/11]
Add support for environment storage in SystemACE:

...
+- CFG_ENV_IS_IN_SYSACE:

+       Define this if you have a Compact Flash (CF) card connected to a
+       Xilinx SystemACE controller in which you wish to store the 
environment.
+
+       - CFG_SYSTEMACE_ENV_DEV:
+       The device (instance) number of the SystemACE device you wich to 
use.
+       This is normally zero for a system with a single SystemACE.
+
+       - CFG_ENV_SIZE:
+       The size of the environment in bytes.  Note that presently this 
must

Please clean up and resubmit, but please the rules as  documetned  in
the  README. And make sure to configure your mailer correctly so that
it doesn't corrupt your postings.

All patches rejected. Sorry.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
