The calypso always supports booting from rom _BUT_ the nIBOOT pin determines
whether it boots from external NOR flash or from internal mask-rom.

Since that pin is hard-wired on the circuit board, you will only be able to
activate the calypso romloader on our supported motorola/compal phones if you
unsolder the Calypso BGA package, do some re-work and re-solder it ;)

Generally speaking: As far as I know, only prom (the original author) has been
using/testing the flash support so far.  Only he would be able to know what
is supposed to work right now and what isn't.
