Thanks, but...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This last line is obviously wrong.  It is a plain shell script,
i. e. a normal text file, and it is also recognized as such:

-> file tools/img2brec.sh
tools/img2brec.sh: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable, with CRLF, CR, LF line terminators


If git misunderstands this, then probably because of the CR / CRLF /
LF mess in this file.  This should be fixed, then you can omit this
incorrectline.

Patch just sent.



Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
