nrfutil settings generate for nRF52 QFAB

Hello,

it seems the current nrfutils release assumes that the bootloader settings will be stored at address 0x7F000 on an nRF52. However, unless I'm mistaken, that is only true for QFAA versions of the chip, since QFAB versions have only 256KB of flash and therefore the flash is mapped from 0x00000000 to 0x00040000. Consequently, the hex file it generates cannot be used on an nRF52 QFAB (unless of course you manually modify the base address and the corresponding checksum for that line)

If that is correct, is it fair to assume that I need to modify the source for nrfutil to allow using 0x3F000 as a bootloader settings address?

Thanks, Matteo
