Hello,

flash-kernel 3.19 has migrated to jessie in the meantime, so I guess nothing
speaks against adding further machines to the db.

I had limited my first patch to systems with SATA connector (Cubieboard 1/2
and Mele A1000), as we had no sunxi MMC driver in the Debian kernel at that
time.  Now (since kernel version 3.15~rc8, currently in experimental) sunxi
MMC support is available in Debian, so I have added entries for all
supported sunxi-based systems with MMC/SD slot to the patch.

- Cubietech Cubieboard
- Cubietech Cubieboard2
- LinkSprite pcDuino
- Mele A1000
- Miniand Hackberry
- Olimex A10-OLinuXino-LIME
- Olimex A10s-Olinuxino Micro
- Olimex A13-Olinuxino
- Olimex A13-Olinuxino Micro
- Olimex A20-Olinuxino Micro
- PineRiver Mini X-Plus
- WITS A31 Colombus Evaluation Board

If there are no objections, I'll commit the patch to the flash-kernel
master branch.

Regards,
Karsten
