Hi Graeme,
Thanks for your inputs.

Actually, the first patch [PATCH 0/2] is the cover patch containing only the description about the changes in the subsequent patches. (This patch contains information on how to test ext4 implementation)

The other two patches [PATCH 1/2] and [PATCH 2/2] containing the code are properly aligned and tested using checkpatch.pl script.

I think we can ignore the indentation in the cover patch. Please share your comments.

Thanks & Regards,
Uma Shankar

Subject: [PATCH 0/2] *** Add ext4 filesystem support in uboot ***

***
This patch series adds support for ext4 ls,load and write features in uboot
Journaling is supported for write feature.

To Enable EXT4 commands, modify the board specific config file with
#define CONFIG_CMD_EXT2 1
#define CONFIG_CMD_EXT4 1
Steps to test:

1. After applying the patch, ext4 specific commands can be seen
  in the boot loader prompt using
UBOOT #help

ext4load- load binary file from a Ext4 file system
ext4ls  - list files in a directory (default /)
ext4write- create a file in ext4 formatted partition

2. To list the files in ext4 formatted partition, execute
ext4ls <interface> <dev[:part]> [directory]
For example:
UBOOT #ext4ls mmc 0:5 /usr/lib

3. To read and load a file from an ext4 formatted partition to RAM, execute
ext4load <interface> <dev[:part]> [addr] [filename] [bytes]
For example:
UBOOT #ext4load mmc 2:2 0x30007fc0 uImage

4. To write a file to a ext4 formatted partition.
a) First load a file to RAM at a particular address for example 0x30007fc0.
Now execute ext4write command
ext4write <interface> <dev[:part]> [filename] [Address] [sizebytes]
For example:
UBOOT #ext4write mmc 2:2 /boot/uImage 0x30007fc0 6183120
(here 6183120 is the size of the file to be written)
Note: Absolute path is required for the file to be written

***

Uma Shankar (2):
 ext4fs ls load support
 ext4fs write support

I notice different coding styles in the two patches - In particular, the
first patch uses spaces for indentation and the second (correctly) uses tabs

Can you please run the 'checkpatch' script (it in the root of the u-boot
tree) on both and correct any errors and warnings

Regards,

Graeme
