"Davinci NAND" is a bit of a misnomer since this particular EMIF block is
commonly used across multiple TI devices.  Unfortunately, this misnomer
(amongst others) carries forward into the kernel too.  Consequently, if we
use a different device name here, the mtdparts variable won't be usable as
a kernel command-line argument.

Regards
Cyril.
