Depends on the SoC. I am the proud owner of a Wireless Space which, due
its Kirkwood SoC's revision, cannot recover through UART even though
kirkwoods normally can. Not to mention my ED Mini V2, which has orion,
with no UART recovery at all.

I did not find if MV88F1155 has UART recovery.

Also, UART recovery requires having a working U-boot image file. JPT, do
you have a working (pristine) U-Boot for your ReadyNAS, or can you get
one from Netgear?
