Because the mfgtools uses the serial download protocol, it's likely
that the first stage will work (the piece that downloads U-Boot
into RAM), but the next stage (programming SPI NOR) can only
occur if the U-Boot version supports USB OTG, and main-line
doesn't yet.

Unfortunately, I don't have ready access to a Windows
machine, and it's a pain to test...
