Yes, this is a huge boost to readability, as far as I'm concerned --
primarily because it kills the *second* "pflash_blk[i]" assignment in
the original loop body. Please do include this patch, and append, at once:
Reviewed-by: Laszlo Ersek <address@hidden>
... BTW: you are assigning "blk" once, and reading it once. You might as
well drop "blk" and substitute "pflash_cfi01_get_blk(pcms->flash[i])".
[*] Yes, I'm seeing your update down-thread. :)
Thanks,
Laszlo
