We have the following patch in l2-mtd-2.6.git waiting for being merged:

commit a0b50813e689760de9ccd85e1b29906c2540a7e0
Author: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov <dbaryshkov@...il.com>
Date:   Thu Jun 2 18:51:14 2011 +0400

    mtd: drop physmap_configure
    
    physmap_configure() and physmap_set_partitions() have no users in kernel.
    Out of kernel users should have been converted to regular platform device
    long ago. Drop support for this obsolete API.
