If guruplug users don't mind updating the firmware, I'm OK with it.
Do you know the minimum version that should be good (so people know if
they need to upgrade)?
As a user I don't object to updating uboot, but if that's a requirement
it would be nice to have that recorded in the instructions (as well as
instructions for how to upgrade uboot).
