The "mtdparts add" command wrote through a NULL pointer - on many systems this went unnoticed (PowerPC has writable RAM there, some ARM systems have ROM where a write has no effect), but on arm1136 (i.MX31) it crashed the system.
Add appropriate checks.
Hi Wolfgang,
I have already sent a patch fixing this issue,
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2010-April/070347.html
However, I preferred (easier way) to fix the calling function as the device_parse(). I do not know if Stefan has already merged it.
