Hi Ken'ichi,

Please find the patch below that now maintain the same format for
eraseinfo data.

Thanks,
-Mahesh.


makedumpfile: Use the same format as erase commands for eraseinfo data.

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The format of eraseinfo data differs from that of erase commands. This patch
makes sure eraseinfo data format is same as erase commands.
