Subject: patch "ihex: Share code between ihex_validate_fw() and ihex_next_binrec()" added to driver-core-testing


This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    ihex: Share code between ihex_validate_fw() and ihex_next_binrec()

to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the driver-core-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: ihex: Share code between ihex_validate_fw() and ihex_next_binrec()

Convert both ihex_validate_fw() and ihex_next_binrec() to use a helper
function to calculate next record offest. This way we only have one
place implementing next record offset calculation logic. No functional
change intended.
