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. Signed-off-by: Tim Harvey <tharvey@gateworks.com>

The downstream Freescale vendor kernel has a patch that allows determining
|
|
if raw NAND flash mode is provided via a debugfs file. This is not present
|
|
in upstream kernels, but the raw access support was added in the 3.19
|
|
kernel, so we will check the kernel version if we can't find the file.
