Please see for example
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/BootTimeConfigurationOfMTDPartitions,
and look up the section about "mtdparts" in
CHANGELOG-before-U-Boot-1.1.5

I hereby confirm that it is the right way to go, as  it  is  the  way
that  is  supported in the public U-Boot tree, and that shall be used
to provide partition information for MTD devices in Linux.

Best regards,
