  WARNING: This module uses an early tapeout/stepping of the i.MX 7 SoC which suffers a NAND flash issue requiring a software workaround. This U-Boot version still implements this workaround, but future U-Boot versions provided by Toradex will not use the workaround anymore. You must use a newer Colibri iMX7 (V1.1B or later) to use future software versions. For evaluation and testing purposes it will be possible to keep the current U-Boot and only update the kernel and root filesystem.
