I am using u-boot-1.3.1 in order to boot linux 2.6.25 on a custom MPC8313
based board.  In past versions of the kernel I was able to pass the NAND
partition information to the kernel with this line: root=/dev/mtdblock2
rootfstype=jffs2 rw console=ttyS0,115200
mtdparts=nand0:1M(u-boot),3M(kernel),-(jffs2).  In this latest version the
kernel will not mount the partitions because the name that is parsed from
the command line (nand0) is different from that of the name of the NAND
that comes from ./drivers/mtd/nand/nand_ids.c (NAND 256MiB 3,3V 8-bit).

This is fixed in the current mtd tree (commit 9ebed3e60f9, fsl_elbc_nand:
fix mtd name).

I have tried to change the name of the NAND that is passed in via the
command line, but u-boot does not seem to like the format of the name that
linux compares against.  It doesn't like the ,(comma) in 3,3V.

Why would u-boot care about the format of the kernel command line?
