Seems your MTD drivers are missing support for 64 bit buswidth.

We implemented this long ago. See our kernel source tree at
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/

For example:

...
TQM8260 flash bank 0: Using static image partition definition
Creating 4 MTD partitions on "TQM8260 Bank 0":
0x00000000-0x00040000 : "ppcboot"
0x00040000-0x00100000 : "kernel"
0x00100000-0x00400000 : "initrd"
0x00400000-0x00800000 : "jffs"
...

There are two ways to write error-free programs. Only the  third  one
works.
