I think this is a very very bad idea which basically makes openocd useless as a 
LPC2000 flash programmer. Very few development tools generate the checksum 
(hence the checksum errors)! It would be better to:
1) skip the checksum location on the LPC platform or
2) always calculate the checksum in the image before checking or
3) continue checking until there are more than 10 differences detected (which 
would be more generic). If there are differences, it is usually convenient to 
know if there is more than one to see if there is a pattern. More than 10 
mismatches usually means a serious error.
