Please see  http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/CodingStyle  and
http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches  for some hints how to submit
code.

Your patches have a number of Coding Style issues.  Please run them
through checkpatch:

WARNING: Avoid line continuations in quoted strings
WARNING: do not add new typedefs
WARNING: please, no spaces at the start of a line
WARNING: suspect code indent for conditional statements
NOTE: whitespace errors detected, you may wish to use scripts/cleanpatch or
ERROR: code indent should use tabs where possible
ERROR: trailing whitespace
ERROR: patch seems to be corrupt (line wrapped?)

etc. etc.

Themost critical problem is the white space corruption (line wrapped)
which causes that we cannot apply or test these patches.


Please clean up and resubmit usign "git send-email" to avoid such
white space corruptions.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

be it _is_ a bit like Hell would be if they shut the  fires  off  and
stabled  a  herd  of  incontinent cows there for a year, but you must
admit that it is full of sheer, vibrant, dynamic _life_.
