Yes, using the spl is a workaround, and like i mentioned in my previous mail, i thought having the spl was not a problem on the hawkboard. I had thought putting a new oob layout in the common davinci nand driver for a single board to be not a clean fix either. More so, given the fact that we don't have any control over rbl -- so if rbl changes it's layout for any subsequent board, we'd have to add that as well to the nand driver, and both in u-boot as well as the kernel. I guess the cleanest solution would have been for the rbl to have used the same layout as the one used by u-boot and linux. Btw, can you please review this change, that this patch fixes.
