[U-Boot-Users] Sector addresses alignment of "flinfo"
Currently the "flinfo" command shows sector start addresses like this:
Bank # 1: INTEL 28F128J3A (128 Mbit) Size: 32 MB in 128 Sectors Sector Start Addresses: FC000000 FC040000 FC080000 FC0C0000 FC100000 FC140000 FC180000 FC1C0000 FC200000 FC240000
IMO printing 4 (a power of 2) addresses per line would be more readable and reasonable:
Bank # 1: INTEL 28F128J3A (128 Mbit) Size: 32 MB in 128 Sectors Sector Start Addresses: FC000000 FC040000 FC080000 FC0C0000 FC100000 FC140000 FC180000 FC1C0000 FC200000 FC240000 FC280000 FC2C0000
And I believe this is always the case for any Flash disk.
Where to be fixed? Run "grep -r '% 5' u-boot". All the results seem relating this task. (Mmm, duplicate code...)

Maybe in this case, yes.

"this"? What is the case for any flash? That 4 columns are better than 5? I disagree. There are many flashes with a big number of sectors, so the screen should be used as efficiently as possible.
