It's not yet supported in mainline. There have been some patches
floating around, but none has been formally submitted for merging.
See:

You could try using an initrd/initramfs (attached to the kernel image,
or loaded by u-boot) which includes the image to be written.
Or you could try using jffs2 to bootstrap things.
Or fix USB. :-)
