It looks like an independent but identical patch made it in for 3.8-rc7:

    mtd: physmap_of: fix cmdline partition method w/o linux, mtd-name

    Commit d68cbdd4fb (mtd: physmap_of: allow to specify the mtd name for retro
    compatiblity) broke cmdline partitioning using dev_name() in the
kernel command
    line.  of_property_read_string() does not touch mtd_name when
linux,mtd-name is
    not present in the device tree, which causes map.name to be set to a random
    value.  Fix this by initializing mtd_name to NULL.
