  Yes, using the spl is a workaround, and like i mentioned in my
  previous mail, i thought having the spl was not a problem on the
  hawkboard. I had thought putting a new oob layout in the common
  davinci nand driver for a single board to be not a clean fix
  either. More so, given the fact that we don't have any control over
  rbl -- so if rbl changes it's layout for any subsequent board, we'd
  have to add that as well to the nand driver, and both in u-boot as
  well as the kernel.

  I guess the cleanest solution would have been for the rbl to have
  used the same layout as the one used by u-boot and linux.

  Btw, can you please review this change, that this patch
  fixes. ACK/NAK?
