Yes we have many copies of the NAND driver, just not the same as used in
boot0/boot1 A20 SDK..
What ee have:
a) The old version from A10 SDK for Linux and u-boot. (no boot0/boot1
sources available for A10).
b) The newer version which was included in the A20 GPL licensing code
drop where license headers were changed to GPL and all
kernel/boot/u-boot binary blobs got replaced by sources. This covers
boot0/boot1, u-boot and Linux, all with slightly different versions of
the NAND driver.
'b' is the boot0/boot1 version reported not to work earlier in this
thread.
The version included in linux-sunxi kernel is based on the old "A10"
version.

Henrik
