Since you didn't really change any content, you could have just
carried my previous review.  In any case I'll add my tag again:

Reviewed-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@...omium.org>

I'd also note that it's nice if you version your patches and include
version history.  If you need help you might consider using patman to
help you send upstream patches.  See:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=tools/patman/README

...never mind that it lives in the U-Boot tree--it's great for kernel work too.

Thanks for contributing to the kernel!  :-)
