I do not believe resync is a bad idea,
of course we should be very careful not to break existing features.
I recommend to surround this code with "#ifdef __UBOOT__ ... #endif"
as we have done for the other parts.
BTW, we attempt to probe NAND devices during the boot sequence
just for displaying the device size, right?
NAND: **** MiB
If so, can we postpone the whole of nand_scan
until we use it? I am not sure about this, though.
