U-Boot has about 60k lines of Python code. This is quite small relative to the total code size, but it is still important to keep the code style consistent.
This series allows pylint to be run on Python files within U-Boot to detect any changes that reduce the current pylint ‘score’ of any modules. It works by comparing the current state against a base state kept in a file. The check is invoked with: make pylint This should gradually help to improve the code. The series also tidies up a few minor nits to produce better pylint output.
