[U-Boot] U-boot NAND boot on IMX31 3stack(ARM)

[alfred steele]

Thanks Magnus,
How difficult or rather much an effort would it need to add NAND boot
support and make it work on MX35 or MX31 3stack board.
Are there any existing guidelines for accelerating the development or
is the generic uboot porting guidelines .

Regards,
Alfred
