Well, I think the best would be to get rid of this function. It's only
implemented by board/isee/igep00x0/igep00x0.c, and we might be able to
use CONFIG_{MTDPARTS,MTDIDS}_DEFAULT to replace it:

CONFIG_MTDPARTS_DEFAULT "omap2-nand:Xk(SPL),-(UBI);omap2-onenand:Yk(SPL),-(UBI)"
CONFIG_MTDIDS_DEFAULT "nand0=omap2-nand,onenand0=omap2-onenand"

This assumes we know the eraseblock size of the NAND and OneNAND devices of
course (X and Y in the above def).
