[Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>]

Dear Mark Norman,

Why do you have to make such assumptions?  That's documented
behaviour.  Didn't you RTFM?

Then please submit a proper patch - these introductury comments don;lt
belong intot he commit message and shouldbemoved into the comment
section (below the "---" line).

Incorrect multiline comment format; please fix globally.

Please move declarations up.  Don't split declarations by comment
lines.  Add a blank line between declarations and code.

Make sure not to add such unrelated, incorrect changes!

Ditto.
