Right, and it makes absolutly no sense to me to have this as a
separate tool.  The NAND boot code would map nicely into the nand_spl
framework, and the same could/should be done for the MMC boot part.

And again I see nothing in it that could not be done in mkimage -
eventually with less code and effort.

Best regards,
