Thanks.

OK. I'd be a lot happier if we had already fixed up the partitioning and
could get at a 'whole-device' MTD device reliably, but it does make

OK.

I don't like this very much. I habitually update RedBoot from Linux. I
have occasionally been known to change the config and FIS directory too.

Perhaps we could make it optional too?

Please update the Kconfig file to match what you've changed in
Config.in.
