then they should be fixed too. Or better fix kernel
driver first and then add these changes to u-boot.
Checkpatch in the u-boot is just the same as is in the kernel.

I have no problem that you want to keep that code synchronized
for easier diffing but adding incorrect code is just really bad.
And you shouldn't just copy what's wrong.

The driver is in mainline from 2010 that's why go and fix it.
Make no sense for me to send this to linux kernel because
the reaction will be that I should fix it and I have no interest
to fix it.

Thanks,
Michal
