I've gone over your changes and noticed one very small thing, you've changed 
copyright strings as well:

- * Copyright (C) 2007 Marvell Internation Ltd.
+ * Copyright (C) 2007 Marvell International Ltd.
- * Copyright (C) 2007 Marvell Internation Ltd.
+ * Copyright (C) 2007 Marvell International Ltd.

While all the fixes are correct, i'd advise against changing copyright notices 
without the SOB of the authors. The s/Unviersity/University fix would be ok i 
guess because it's a very clear typo, but the Marvell one is borderline (while 
it too is probably a typo) i think it needs a signoff from those who put the 
copyright notices there in that form.

You could leave out those bits from the patch as well.

Thanks,

	Ingo
