Update uboot from 2016.05

A list of only 6 checked items, that is what I need to do:

☐ Check /etc/fw_env.config and /proc/mtd
☐ Set ethaddr
☑ Dump NAND mtd0 and Save envs
☑ No bad block
────────────
☑ Extract the archive
☑ Erase mtd0
☑ Write image to NAND
────────────
☐ Flashing default u-boot envs image
────────────
☑ Double check uBoot envs 
☐ Set up netconsole

I think I can skip the task of flashing default envs image, below is a diff of my current envs and the uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment

Hi bodhi,
Thank you for caring for my to-do-list.
I will burn the nand these days.

I made a stupid mistake, I carelessly flashed the environment file instead of the environment.img
Is there any potential damage for my Pogo?

root@Pogoplug:~/burn# ~/tools/nandwrite -s 786432 /dev/mtd0 uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment
Input file is not page-aligned. Use the padding option.
nandwrite: error!: Data was only partially written due to error
           error 0 (Success)

No worry, do flash_erase and nandwrite again.
