pxa: palmtreo680 flash programming utility

This adds a userspace linux utility that writes the u-boot image to an mtd
partition on the docg4 nand flash.

A special utility is required to do this because u-boot is partially loaded by
an initial program loader (IPL) that is permanently programmed to the boot
region of the flash.  This IPL expects the image to be written in a unique
format. The characteristics of this format can be summarized as follows:
  - Flash blocks to be loaded must have a magic number in the oob bytes of the
    first page of the block.
  - Each page must be written redundantly in the subsequent page.
  - The integrated flash controller's "reliable mode" is used, requiring that
    alternate 2k regions (4 pages) are skipped when writing.
For these reasons, a u-boot image can not be written using nandwrite from
mtd-utils.

+ * This is a userspace Linux utility that, when run on the Treo 680, will
+ * program u-boot to flash.  The docg4 driver *must* be loaded with the
+ * reliable_mode and ignore_badblocks parameters enabled:
+ *
+ *        modprobe docg4 ignore_badblocks=1 reliable_mode=1
+ *
+ * This utility writes the concatenated spl + u-boot image to the start of the
+ * mtd device in the format expected by the IPL/SPL.  The image file and mtd
+ * device node are passed to the utility as arguments.  The blocks must have
+ * been erased beforehand.
+ *
+ * When you compile this, note that it links to libmtd from mtd-utils, so ensure
+ * that your include and lib paths include this.
