Hi Roman
Thanks for picking this up. A few notes on the process:
- Don't attach the patch, it must be inline in the email. But do not
copy-paste it in to your mail client, that will most likely make it whitespace-damaged. git send-email is your friend.
- Sending it to u-boot@lists.denx.de is correct, but you should also cc
"interested parties", e.g. at least me (for obvious reasons) and anybody who participated in the earlier thread. If you had used git send-email, your "Cc: " line in the patch would actually automatically have included me on cc. Other people are just as easy to add (with the --cc option to "git send-email"). Very few people, if any, read every message on the U-Boot mailing list.
- It would be good if you could also add a test and ensure that it
works. I think my original submission had three commits, of which the first is now moot, but that last patch was a test case. It may need some adjustments to apply nowadays, but it should give you a starting point.

I don't remember where exactly I found the information initially but patman is your friend when submitting patches. c.f. [0] resp. [1] for more information.
Cheers, Steffen
