ihex: Simplify next record offset calculation
Next record calucaltion can be reduced to a much more tivial ALIGN operation as follows: 1. Splitting 5 into 2 + 3 we get next = ((be16_to_cpu(rec->len) + 2 + 3) & ~3) - 2 (1) 2. Using ALIGN macro we reduce (1) to: ALIGN(be16_to_cpu(rec->len) + 2, 4) - 2 (2) 3. Subsituting 'next' in original next record calucation we get: (void *)&rec->data[ALIGN(be16_to_cpu(rec->len) + 2, 4) - 2] (3) 4. Converting array index to pointer arithmetic we convert (3) into: (void *)rec + sizeof(*rec) + ALIGN(be16_to_cpu(rec->len) + 2, 4) - 2 (4) 5. Subsituting sizeof(*rec) with its value, 6, and substracting 2, in (4) we get: (void *)rec + ALIGN(be16_to_cpu(rec->len) + 2, 4) + 4 (5) 6. Since ALIGN(X, 4) + 4 == ALIGN(X + 4, 4), (5) can be converted to: (void *)rec + ALIGN(be16_to_cpu(rec->len) + 6, 4) (6) 5. Subsituting 6 in (6) to sizeof(*rec) we get: (void *)rec + ALIGN(be16_to_cpu(rec->...
