Subject: [GIT PULL] Missing *eof assignment in Alpha's srm_env driver

Hi Linus!

Please pull from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jbglaw/vax-linux.git ,
branch `upstream-linus'. Despite the repo's name, it contains a fix
for the srm_env driver on Alpha:

commit 16b7f4dcd340875625714438a812ea06400f9666
Author: Jan-Benedict Glaw <jbglaw@...-owl.de>

    Update for the srm_env driver.
    
    This patch contains a fix for a bug introduced more than a year ago
    (not setting *eof) and updates whitespace a bit.

- * Changelog
- * ~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * Thu, 22 Aug 2002 15:10:43 +0200
- * 	- Update Config.help entry. I got a number of emails asking
- * 	  me to tell their senders if they could make use of this
- * 	  piece of code... So: "SRM is something like BIOS for your
- * 	  Alpha"
- * 	- Update code formatting a bit to better conform CodingStyle
- * 	  rules.
- * 	- So this is v0.0.5, with no changes (except formatting)
- * 	
- * Wed, 22 May 2002 00:11:21 +0200
- * 	- Fix typo on comment (SRC -> SRM)
- * 	- Call this "Version 0.0.4"
- *
- * Tue,  9 Apr 2002 18:44:40 +0200
- * 	- Implement access by variable name and additionally
- * 	  by number. This is done by creating two subdirectories
- * 	  where one holds all names (like the old directory
- * 	  did) and the other holding 256 files named like "0",
- * 	  "1" and so on.
- * 	- Call this "Version 0.0.3"
