Patch series applied to u-boot-arm/master, with manual fix of three empty lines at EOF in patches 1 through 3.
These empty lines and other whitespace errors can be found and fixed by the submitter before sending the patch to the list: just apply the patches to a local branch created at the intended commit where application will happen, i.e.:
checkpatch.pl should catch it too i would think -mike
-checkpatch.pl v0.31 and v0.32 do not detect this for me -git format-patch does not seem to have an option to report it -git am notices it, but as Albert notes, the procedure is torturous
For now I have added something to my script to find these errors in future, just by scanning the patches.
