Please see for example http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/BootTimeConfigurationOfMTDPartitions, and look up the section about "mtdparts" in CHANGELOG-before-U-Boot-1.1.5
Can someone confirm that mtdparts is the right way to go?
I hereby confirm that it is the right way to go, as it is the way that is supported in the public U-Boot tree, and that shall be used to provide partition information for MTD devices in Linux.
Best regards,
