It's been beaten to death, several times, along with the 80-column limit (lifted some time ago). I think googling for "site:lkml.org tabs alignment" should show relevant threads. My personal opinion is that while we can easily use (and enforce) tabs for syntactic indentation, other things should be left unruled. IMHO the ideal situation is using spaces for anything other than syntactic indentation, since it allows consistent viewing with any tab length. Unfortunately, most of the editor programs are not there yet (I'm told emacs can be told to do the "right thing" automatically). > You could use a cramfs but it adds quite some binary size to the > image.

Yes, the firmware must be in /lib/firmware/NPE-[ABC], but we could get it, link etc. from cramfs. Even with a special tool reading cramfs and writing files in /lib/firmware. At present we simply have another copy of microcode in Linux image. -- Krzysztof Halasa _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
