mini2440 (256MB NAND)

Hi again :)

It seems that there is nothing wrong with the mini2440 code.
I tested almost every monthly builds and all builds until the June build are 
able to boot from NAND with out any problem.

In fact I'm very happy with the barebox-2013.05.1, it works very well on the 
mini2440 platform (thank you for your hard work :) ).

Nevertheless, after the barebox-2013.05.1 build, the boot from NAND on 
mini2440 is broken and since I don't see any mini2440 code change in the mail 
archive for May, June and July, it is possible that some change in the barebox 
core broke the boot from NAND in mini2440.
