Assume we have a 1GB(8Gb) nand chip, and we set the partitions
in the command line like this:
    #gpmi-nand:100m(boot),100m(kernel),1g(rootfs)

In this case, the partition truncating occurs. The current code will
get the following result:

     ----------------------------------
	root at freescale ~$ cat /proc/mtd
	dev:    size   erasesize  name
	mtd0: 06400000 00040000 "boot"
	mtd1: 06400000 00040000 "kernel"
     ----------------------------------

It is obvious that we lost the truncated partition `rootfs` which should
be 824M in this case.

Why? The old code sets the wrong partitions number when the truncating
occurs. This patch fixes it. Alao add a `break` to shortcut the code in this
case.

After apply this patch, the result becomes:
     ----------------------------------
	root at freescale ~$ cat /proc/mtd
	dev:    size   erasesize  name
	mtd0: 06400000 00040000 "boot"
	mtd1: 06400000 00040000 "kernel"
	mtd2: 33800000 00040000 "rootfs"
     ----------------------------------

We get the right result.
