This certainly isn't true for the upstream kernel; is this some bug in
the ChromeOS kernel? If so, we should explicitly call this out in the
commit description.

Why doesn't ODMDATA come from the BCT? The way this is suppose to work
is that the boot ROM copies the BCT into IRAM, and U-Boot (or indeed any
bootloader) copies the ODMDATA field from the BCT in IRAM into the PMC
scratch20 register. This logic is already all in place in U-Boot, and
indeed any NVIDIA-authored bootloader AFAIK.
Is this U-Boot port intended to run as a Coreboot payload rather than
natively, and Coreboot is somehow corrupting the copy of the BCT in
IRAM? If so, we should explicitly call this out in the commit description.
I would personally want to (be able to) make my SPI flash r/w and
replace Coreboot with U-Boot. Perhaps we need different board names for
those two use-cases; something like nyan-big for the Coreboot payload,
and nyan-big-native for the version you'd write directly into SPI?
