Subject: patman: Use bytearray instead of string
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c31d0cb68c1c29f210ab44803f5e5fdcdcfa250b;p=u-boot.git

patman: Use bytearray instead of string

If the process outputs a lot of data on stdout this can be quite slow,
since the bytestring is regenerated each time. Use a bytearray instead.
