The cm-fx6 module has an on-board st,m25p compatible spi flash chip used for u-boot (binary & environment). Overwrite the partitions in the device tree by the partition table provided in the mtdparts environment variable, if it is set.
This allows to specify a kernel independent partitioning in the environment and provides a convient way for the user to adapt the partition table.

Why is this needed?
The MTD_DEV_TYPE_NOR constant is defined in this header. I agree that it is a bit ugly but this header is used for the same purpose in other board files, too (e.g.board/pdm360ng/pdm360ng.c).
I see. I don't feel right to request this in scope of these patches, but if you can take care of that one (even in a follow up patch) - it would be awesome.
I prefer to defer it, since it touches another subsystem (jffs).

I really dislike the ifdeffery inside functions. Care to introduce a stub for the !CONFIG_FDT_FIXUP_PARTITIONS case in include/fdt_support.h for this one?
Sure. Is the header the correct place for this or should I add a #else case in the .c file?
IMO, the header file is better for stubbing things out. It does not require you to add .c into compilation. There are also already several examples inside this header.
Ok.
Thanks, Christopher
