Hi Andy,

thank you for the review again!

Looks cleaner, I'll check.

vfree(). In the latter case, the old buffer is already gone.

OK, as long as it is unique...

I will have a look at these string refactorings when I need the analyzer
next time and come back then.

Oh yes, thank you!

-f broke zip file generation in a way I didn't know how to resolve
differently. Sadly, I can't recall the details right now.

I like this!

I don't see the need now. We can update if we need it.

Well, from the cover-letter:

* A *lot* of cleanups to the shell script guided by checkers, mainly
  'shellcheck'. This is mainly to ensure that the scripts works on most
  minimal shells. Tested are 'busybox ash', 'dash', and 'bash'.

I used a different kernel on a different SoC which did not have CPUfreq
at all.

If we ever support binary arguments (toggles), then a generic 'shift 2'
won't work?

SI would be useful, for sure. But I need to move on right now, so it
needs to be done incrementally.
