Should be final, but I can rebase it again if need be. I've been
running this successfully for the better part of about 3 months
now with no more visible issues on my end. I never got fastboot
to talk to the mtd subsystem the way I was hoping, but in the end
was able to sidestep the issue with an swupdate based flash tool.

Thank you,
Chris.
