Your intentions are good, but you have to know that there's no way this 
driver is going into U-boot unless it meets the coding standards.  There 
are many reasons for this policy, but suffice to say it just ain't gonna 
happen.

If you clean it up, we'll put it in.  Also, sending patches zipped up is 
uncool.  Please send as inline text and break up logically if you need to.
