[U-Boot] [PATCH ARM 1/3] s3c24x0 code style changes

Dear Scott Wood,

In the end, people expect to have their patches applied to mainline,
which means "master" or "next", right? Any custodian trees are just
staging areas on that way, and custodian should take care to keep he
difference between their trees (at least their master branches) to
mainline as small as possible. I always try to handle any pull
requests really quickly.

If I am supposed to test something, I don;t want to have to bother
about some 30+ custodian trees hanging around, and finding the right
branch in the right tree so test one patch and another combo for the
next patch.

I wrote my name at the top of the page. I wrote down  the  number  of
the  question  ``1''.  After much reflection I put a bracket round it
thus ``(1)''. But thereafter I could not think of anything  connected
with it that was either relevant or true.
