Are you sure this happens between 2013.05.1 and 2013.06.0? The only
changes in the mtd stuff are:

ae6f751 nand_base: sync flash detection functions with linux 3.9's code
c8af035 Merge branch 'for-next/misc'
7c15fd1 NAND: imx: Fix memory leak
d8ee54f mtd: Nand: Use dev_add_param_bool for erasebad parameter
7c6c61f treewide: Use dev_add_param_int_ro where possible
973176d mtd: update NAND manufacturer names from the kernel
4c2bdc8 nand_base: detect more ONFI flash

So the only patches which seem to change something are from you ;)

Does the 'md' command still work and shows meaningful content in the
NAND?
