There are not only Bamboo board running PIBS, but running U-Boot too. How 
should we handle this different FLASH partitioning? Same goes for Ebony too 
btw.

That's a good question.  I'm working on making the NOR flash show up for
Bamboo right now, and I had intended to just leave the partition
subnodes missing.

Maybe we can have  U-Boot  add  the  partition  information  if  it's
missing in the device tree, and extend the mtdparts command in U-Boot
to add / adjust settings so they match what is defined in U-Boot.

That would be great for newer U-Boots.  For existing older ones, it
doesn't really solve the problem.  But then again, there's no way to
possibly define all the partitioning schemes people may have adopted to
their needs on their boards.  And I believe that is why David has
RedBoot and command line partitioning override what is in the DTS today.
