Dear Albert,

In message<[email protected]>  you wrote:

We should involve Wolfgang here, because ISTR there were already
discussions about encodings in U-Boot, with the conclusion at the time
that ISO-8859 was to be used:

<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/84647>

So far, ISO-8859(-1 or -15) have been used.

Maybe finally we should move to UTF-8?

You mean we should set commitencoding in .git/config? We can do this,
but would this help in cases like this one, where the actual ISO-8859
character is present in the existing code?

What I mean is that U-Boot still has a mix of UTF-8 and ISO-8859 encoded files, and at least we should stick to one encoding only (my bad: I've already offered to do this, and haven't).

As for switching to UTF-8, I suggested this because I thought ISO-8859 support was problematic in patchwork; since then, Jeremy mentioned that ISO-8859 should not be an issue, so forget about switching.

(and I'll post an UTF-8-to-ISO-8859 fixup patch at the next merge window)

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Amicalement,
