Ok, I have the following dts working... would this be better? It
basically follows the fsl,upm-nand model. I can produce a new patch to
ndfc.c for this:

ndfc@1,0 {
	compatible = "amcc,ndfc";
	reg = <0x00000001 0x00000000 0x00002000>;
	ccr = <0x00001000>;
	bank-settings = <0x80002222>;
	#address-cells = <1>;
	#size-cells = <1>;

	nand {
    		#address-cells = <1>;
    		#size-cells = <1>;

    		partition@0 {
    			label = "kernel";
    			reg = <0x00000000 0x00200000>;
    		};
    		partition@200000 {
    			label = "root";
    			reg = <0x00200000 0x03E00000>;
    		};	
    		partition@40000000 {
    			label = "persistent";
    			reg = <0x04000000 0x04000000>;
    		};
    		partition@80000000 {
    			label = "persistent1";
    			reg = <0x08000000 0x04000000>;
    		};
    		partition@C0000000 {
    			label = "persistent2";
    			reg = <0x0C000000 0x04000000>;
    		};
    	};
};


Here is the boot output for both the NOR and the NAND (just for
comparison):

ffc00000.nor: Found 1 x16 devices at 0x0 in 16-bit bank
 Amd/Fujitsu Extended Query Table at 0x0040
ffc00000.nor: CFI does not contain boot bank location. Assuming top.
number of CFI chips: 1
cfi_cmdset_0002: Disabling erase-suspend-program due to code brokenness.

0x08000000-0x0c000000 : "persistent1"
0x0c000000-0x10000000 : "persistent2"

If everybody likes this better, I can produce a code patch.

Cheers,
