They are not.  There are 64 boards in mainline which define both.

No.  You just select CONFIG_MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS=y in the Linux kernel
configuration.

Seems your kernel does not recognize any MTD partitions at all.

Do you pass any mtdparts= boot argument to the kernel at all?
What exactly are your bootargs?

Did you enable MTD support and CMDLINE_PARTS in the kernel config?
