Why does kernel define kernel NAND partition as writeable?

Ron Olson

In TI's Gingerbread 2.3.4-2.1 release, the kernel board file (board-am3517evm.c) defines the NAND partitions for xloader and u-boot as non-writeable, but the kernel partition is writeable.

I realize this doesn't affect operation.  But, why would the u-boot and kernel partitions differ?  I would have thought they would all be the same, namely non-writeable.

Thanks,
Ron
