The big blocker is that no-one has written  the driver for it. It is
still on our (Free Electrons) TODO-list, but not as a top-priority item
for the moment.

Ezequiel had started to do some preliminary cleanup work on the
pxa3xx-nand driver, with the ultimate goal of making it support Armada
370/XP (because the IP in the Armada 370/XP is apparently an evolution
of the PXA3xx NAND controller), but our priorities shifted to those
other topics. We will back on it some day, but I can't say when at the
moment.

Best regards,

Thomas
