Tim, I have already submitted both the fex file and a u-boot patch for 
inclusion in the sunxi repository. The problem is, the wiki clearly states 
that 'no sunxi-boards patches are accepted without a complete device page 
in place'. However, given Luc's mentality, I'm not at all confident that he 
will ever regard my device page as being 'complete'. Therefore, it's quite 
likely that my patches will never be included in the repository, and never 
be seen.

However, several people here have indicated (entirely reasonably) that they 
cannot help me until they see the contents of the stock fex file. So I 
figured I had two ways of dealing with this impasse - either attach the fex 
file to one of these threads, or add it to the device page as plain text. 
Neither choice is ideal. But on balance, I felt the latter was preferable 
because at least the information would then be available in one central 
place.

Incidentally, there are a few other things that I wanted to upload. For 
example a script I wrote to transfer the stock Android image to an SD card. 
But there's no obvious place to put stuff like that except the wiki.
