I vaguely remember there was a bug somewhere that would let usbboot
'wrap around' the 4096 nand pages sometimes, and then overwrite or
erase nand page 0 containing u-boot.
I think that bug is fixed now, but with a lot of stuff pointing here
or there, and old versions, people may still occasionally run into
it.

One day usbboot is gone and we reflash either with a clean Linux
initramfs reflash system, or from an external memory card :-)
Then we have even more old versions and instructions to clean up...
