Well, that gets at why I called it spl_pop_probe.  If you have a POP
package, this is how you would do the probe.  I can see in theory
wanting to probe NAND as a way to see board rev on a non-POP package,
but I'd like to see a real example first.

But then it would build for both SPL and non-SPL cases.

Just following existing examples.

True, will fix, thanks.

OK, thanks.

I'll see if the datasheet defines this particular bit of magic.

OK.
