Not sure, more information would be helpful.

Ayman, if you do a 'git log v2.6.36.. drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c',
then you'll see a list of commits touching the mtd driver.  Would you
be able to do a 'git checkout <sha1-id>' on each of those are report
back on at what point things stop working?  Actually, a full bisect
between 2.6.36 and 2.6.37 would be best, but this is a good start if
you're limited on time.  Once you find the first commit where it
fails, do a 'git checkout <sha1>~1' to confirm that it is in fact the
commit that causes the breakage.

Can you also post your device tree please?

Thanks,
