It does boot now, using the config you sent.

When it boots, and is waiting for the root device (which doesn't exist), I see 
messages about every 5 seconds like this:

lcd_mipid spi1.1: performing LCD ESD recovery

Excellent.


I appreciate your work (and others here).  I am hoping to run Debian, with 
mainline Linux, on the n810 someday and wish I was able to contribute more 
myself, though that isn't possible now with almost no knowledge of C and not 
enough time to learn.  So for now I just try to keep up with it somewhat and 
note here when things don't work in case someone who can fix it is unaware.
