I guess because people who use arm920t boards with 'standard' u-boot don't boot
from NAND, or if they do, they haven't submitted their patches to add NAND boot
support into u-boot. I've only used the Embest SBC2440-II Board (I haven't got
all the patches accepted so it's not supported yet) and I boot from NOR flash.
