Thanks for catching this. I will fix it. This is the result of change
log content messing up the commit: The diff -Z in the change log
resulted in throwing out the Signed-off and Acked-by.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
diff -Z is used to trim the trailing whitespace when comparing the
loaded firmware file with the source firmware file. However, per the
comment in the source code, -Z should not be necessary. In testing, the
input and output files are identical.
Additionally, -Z is not a standard option and is not available in
environments such as busybox. When -Z is not supported, diff fails with
a usage error, which is suppressed, but then causes read_firmwares() to
exit with a false failure message.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh well! I will fix-up the change-log and amend the commit.
thanks,
