Tim Harvey a4b86b292a boot: kobs-ng: update kobs-ng for newer kernels
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.

The Freescale downstream vendor kernel has a patch that exports the bch
flash geometry via a debugfs file. This is not available in mainline linux
kernels so the fallback method calculates the geometry based on known info
from the mtd partition. A bug exists in this funcion where it fails to
assume that block0 ECC is the same as the other blocks by default.
