Ok, I just rewrote the JFFS2 partition using the mtd-utils and now it mounts correctly 
and without any error.
So does this mean that U-Boot is now unable to properly write a JFFS2 partition for it 
to be understood by the linux-next kernel? What is exactly the difference? Does it 
only affect Freescale NAND controllers?

I'm including the U-Boot mailing list in CC.
