i have pushed a new branch 'lichee-dev' to the tree. Currently 
lichee-dev support sun4i and sun5i, it breaks all other machines in the 
branch :( because we used a private nand lib which support many types of 
nand flash. The same nand lib used in the allwinner linux kernel, to be 
compatible with the current system(packaging, flashing image etc...), we 
keep it. I think in the future we will need to write the mtd nand driver 
and change the nand to mtd.

To build u-boot for A10, run 'make sun4i CROSS_COMPILE= 
arm-linux-gnueabi-' in the u-boot directory.
