A "pull <this ID>" request wouldn't have been changed by
adding another commit to that tree.  You could however
have sent an updated pull request, with both.

That would result in a tree that *builds* properly...

That would be nice.  I'll still want the updated CPLD bits,
which pass SRST through from the JTAG adapter though; that
is obviously not a U-Boot issue.  ;)

I guess that happened after I prepared the patch but before I sent
it in.  I'll look; there were some differences still.  Notably to
store the environment in the otherwise-unused block zero, and work
better with the small-page NANDs I've got handy.

That's important ... it doesn't work right without that patch.
When you erase or protect blocks, the diagnostics are broken
since they give bogus addresses.
