I hadn't realised u-boot had a checkpatch. I shall do this.

Agreed, I already sent out a patch to sunxi.git to make this happen
there so I could sync it to this tree (so sunxi guys consider this a
ping on <1394161088-9835-1-git-send-email-ijc at hellion.org.uk> ;-))

I suppose I don't need to wait, but it was convenient to have a diff
which always shrank...

OK, that was mostly for my own reference. Mind if I put it at the end
after "---" so git am will strip it?

Will do.
