 ... splat.  yeah, repro'd, i get the exact same thing.  that's one
for henrik i feel.

ok, right.  what i've done, joe, is upload a gpl-compliant u-boot
(compiled just now - you can replace it with the one you've just
compiled), and a fel that i compiled a few weeks back which i've still
got a copy of:

 http://hands.com/~lkcl/eoma/a20/fex-boot.tgz

henrik: by using the absolute latest version of u-boot.bin, absolute
latest version of sunxi-tools and NOT using the absolute latest
version of the spl bootloader but using one from a few weeks ago this
shows that the problem is with the spl bootloader.

joe: that's what's causing the A20 to crash such that the 2nd upload
_completely_ fails because the A20 ain't listening any more (isn't in
FEL mode).
