I upgraded from 2.6.29 to 2.6.31, and the kernel no longer recognized
the partitions embedded within my DTS file.  I had to revert this
change:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=4b08e149c0e02e97ec49c2a31d14a0d3a02f8074

in order to boot.  This code looks like it expects all partitions to
be named "partition", otherwise they're just skipped.  Is there some
peculiarity in my setup that makes this not work, or is it a general
problem?  I see no major differences between my DTS file and the
stardard "mpc8313erdb.dts".

It looks like mpc8313erdb.dts needs to be updated.

I don't think so, it's just 2.6.31 has a regression that should
be fixed by "MTD ofpart: Check availability of reg property instead
of name property":

OK, that works too. :-)

I wonder what the non-partition node is that we're needing to avoid...
