Good point. In any case the driver isn't able to recognize your nand
device. I see from you supplied code snipplets, that your barebox is
at least two weeks old. Maybe you use the upstream tree, as maybe there
are already fixes for imx53 nand flash.

Also you may want to activate mtd debugging:

#define CONFIG_MTD_DEBUG
#define CONFIG_MTD_DEBUG_VERBOSE 3

for example to  your include/linux/mtd/mtd.h file. (Those are config
settings, but they don't appear in any Kconfig file, hence supply them
manually)

good luck.
