Thank you Scott and Fabio,
You help is much appreciated.
I will try to add the nand support for mx53 mainline.
However, what I am trying to do is to build a u-boot that supports NAND and have YAFFS2 as well and at moment I use the mx53_ard board since this is very close to what my custom board will be. I was able to build such a version, using Freescale u-boot sources, which included nand subsystem, and yaffs commands. Then I needed to create partitions in the nand and this is where i "discovered" I needed the support of mtdparts command.
So I, guess, I need to configure the u-boot for mtdparts support. This is where I am at.

I do expect mainline is better maintained and supported, except for missing particular features/hardware support that nobody ever bothered
to submit to mainline -- which in this case appears to be hardware that you care about, so unless you're prepared to do a fair bit of work to add support to mainline, I'd try again to find a support channel for your Freescale-provided U-Boot. Or maybe we could help you figure out what it is you want to do, instead of scrubbing, if the
answer doesn't depend on details of a non-standard U-Boot.
Oh, and if you're curious about my freescale.com e-mail address, I work in a different part of the company and don't have i.MX knowledge or contacts.
