CHIPPro NAND issue with 4.12 rc1

Hi All,

I'm trying to boot a CHIPPro with the stock 4.12 rc1 kernel. If I make 
no modifications to the sun5i-gr8-chip-pro.dtb the kernel boots but 
can't find the root partition.

So I added the partitions to the dts file

diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/sun5i-gr8-chip-pro.dts 
b/arch/arm/boot/dts/sun5i-gr8-chip-pro.dts
index c55b11a..0e61e6b 100644

+    };

+      reg = /bits/ 64 <0x1000000 0x1f000000>;
+    };
         };
  };

and now the kernel finds the partition but it times out trying to mount 
it. It seems to be something in the dts files because if I use the 
ntc-gr8-crumb.dts from the ntc 4.4.30 kernel then the system boots all 
the way to userland.
