I wonder if your NAND chip is a large page one? Because currently
fsl_upm_nand hardcodes OOB stuff (bad thing, but with old mtd subsystem
I didn't find better way ;-).

As for u-boot and linux doing different things... with this patch
u-boot and linux are identical:

This is in U-Boot's mtd-2.6.22.1 branch though. :-/ Your approach with hwctl
seem to be more universal (for old mtd subsystem), since it doesn't duplicate
MTD cmdfunc, thus should work for all NAND chips...

Could you prepare a patch that replacing fsl_upm_nand.c's current logic
with yours (that should work for your NAND chip), and I'll test it
on MPC8360E-RDK?
