Well, it is rare that we face upstream regressions of this severe
kind. Every 2-3 years... We much more often have to face missing
features in upstream so that we add our own patch sets on top
of each -rc.

In this case here we could have found this right after the merge window
when v4.16-rc1 came out. But by bad chance (and holidays and other
more important tasks) we did only test on GTA04 boards with standard
NAND. And just now did boot a board with OneNAND installed and were
surprised by this boot problem.

BR,
Nikolaus
