Hi Frans,
[dzu@pollux u-boot-testing (master)]$ git am ~/p1 Applying: cmd_i2c.c: added i2c read to memory function /work/dzu/git/u-boot-testing/.git/rebase-apply/patch:95: trailing whitespace. #if defined(CONFIG_I2C_MUX) error: patch failed: common/cmd_i2c.c:1272 error: common/cmd_i2c.c: patch does not apply Patch failed at 0001 cmd_i2c.c: added i2c read to memory function When you have resolved this problem run "git am --resolved". If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git am --skip". To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am --abort".
You really want to run "scripts/checkpatch.pl" from a Linux source tree on your patches to catch such style problems (beware that in U-Boot we use common sense for the output and tolerate some warnings). Whitespace problems can also be easily seen if you do a "git config --global color.diff=auto". Then such problems can be spotted in "git diff" output.
Currently I don't have time to diagnose the error in line 1272 - maybe you can do that.
Cheers Detlev
