New subject: [PATCH] Fix offset calculation for partial SPI programming

27 Oct 2010

Fix internal offset calculations for SPI BYTE PROGRAM and SPI AAI PROGRAM.
The bug was invisible so far because we always started at offset 0. The
pending partial write patch uses nonzero start offsets and trips over
this bug.
Clarify a few comments in IT87 SPI.
Thanks to Idwer Vollering for reporting write breakage with my latest
partial write patch. This patch should fix the underlying problem.
