Hello Wolfgang,
Why did you insert TABs here?
Because it requires less typing when adding new entries.
I do understand you want to use TABs for indentation. But I don't understand why you want to use them in the comment block. I think the part will not be changed often. I'm talking about a TAB between " U-Boot source tree." and "The remainders rest"

You are using TABs and SPACEs mixed-up.
Correct. I decided to go for a minimal-invasive change that would not result in some very long lines. So most columns are aligned by TAG, and two of them by TAB + 4 x SPACE.
Makes sense.
If you do this refactoring, I'd like to request that only TABs are used consistently.
I can do this - but then, this will result in very long lines. Do you prefer that?
No. Shorter lines are better. You are right. (But I a little afraid someone who does not understand "TAB + 4 SPACE" rule might break the format.)
