A few mostly formal comments about this patch:

- Patch doesn't apply:

[stefan at stefan-desktop u-boot-cfi-flash (master)]$ git am -s patches_misc/\[U-
Boot\]\ PATCH\ mtd\ CFI\ flash\:\ timeout\ calculation\ underflow\ if\ 
imprecise\ 1kHz\ timer\:\ fix.mbox                                                                                   
Applying: PATCH mtd CFI flash: timeout calculation underflow if imprecise 1kHz 
timer: fix
/home/stefan/git/u-boot/u-boot-cfi-flash/.git/rebase-apply/patch:20: trailing 
whitespace.
#endif
error: patch failed: drivers/mtd/cfi_flash.c:660
error: drivers/mtd/cfi_flash.c: patch does not apply

Please fix by using "git format-patch" and "git send-email".

- Patch subject is mangled:

Applying your patch (if possible) would lead to this commit text/subject:
"PATCH mtd CFI flash: timeout calculation underflow if imprecise 1kHz timer: 
fix". This is because your email subject is incorrect (e.g. PATCH should be 
[PATCH]). And the subject it too long as well. Please use a shorter line here.

- Minor coding style problem (see below)

Please insert spaces before and after the "/" above.

Thanks.
