This allows kobs-ng to flash the SPL successfully on the 4.4 kernel used by
the Gateworks IMX boards supporting NAND. The previous version of kobs-ng
worked with the 3.14 kernel but will brick a board making its SPL unbootable
for the 4.4 kernel.
See http://trac.gateworks.com/wiki/ventana/bootloader#nandspl for instructions
on updating the SPL from Linux.

Note, that licensing stuff is a nightmare: many packages does not clearly
state their licenses, and often multiple source files are simply copied
together - each with different licensing information in the file headers.
I tried hard to ensure, that the license information extracted into the OpenWRT's
makefiles fit the "spirit" of the packages, e.g. such small packages which
come without a dedicated source archive "inherites" the OpenWRT's own license
in my opinion.
However, I can not garantee that I always picked the correct information
and/or did not miss license information.

By default kobs-ng will use the size of /dev/mtd0 for the IMX bootstreams.
This patch allows overriding that size in order to reserve space at the end
of the mtd partition for u-boot.img in the case of using an SPL bootloader.
For example, to flash an SPL bootloader that loads u-boot.img from 0xe0000
(14MB) offset in a 16MB /dev/mtd0:
kobs-ng init -v -x --search_exponent=1 --chip_0_size=0xe00000 SPL
nandwrite --start=0xe00000 --pad /dev/mtd0 u-boot.img
