This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
tools/firmware/ihex2fw: Replace explicit alignment with ALIGN
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-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: tools/firmware/ihex2fw: Replace explicit alignment with ALIGN
(X + 3) & ~3 is the same as ALIGN(X, 4), so replace all of the
instances of the formwer in the code with the latter. While at it,
introduce a helper variable 'record_size' to avoid duplicating length
calculatin code. No functional change intended.
