I just realized that cmd_jffs2.c also defines a U_BOOT_CMD fsload ...
this may also be a problem for users of the old command!

However if one defines CONFIG_CMD_JFFS2 _and_ CONFIG_CMD_FS_GENERIC the
linker will throw following warning:

---8<---
/tmp/build_avr32/common/cmd_jffs2.o:(.u_boot_list.cmd.fsload+0x0):
multiple definition of `_u_boot_list_cmd_fsload'

--->8---

Was this intended?
