The sf probe command probes for the spi flash and registers (on success)
the device as nor0. This device is used by mtdparts (cf. the mtdids
variable; it maps the U-Boot name nor0 to the kernel name spi0.0) and
the mtd fixup code in patch 2 (cf. the nodes array; it specifies the
compatible of the flash chip of type NOR #0, i.e. nor0).

Without this all mtdparts commands will fail and the fixup code won't
work because there is nor0 device.

Cheers,
Christopher
