Re: [patch 3/4] 4xx: Convert Walnut flash mappings to new binding

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.

Yeah, partitioning information really doesn't belong in the device
tree -- with the possible exception of the partitions that the
firmware (uboot in this case) needs to know about anyway.

You *can* put all partitioning info in the device tree, but that
doesn't mean you *should* :-)
