You either have to provide a correct device tree for your board, or use a boot loader / boot wrapper that fixes the flash base address and size. At the moment, U-Boot does not contain any code yet to do that (patches welcome :-), and as far as I understand the cuImage wrapper works just the other way round: it adjusts the mappings to the settings in the device tree, which may or may not match the actual hardware. This may work, but at least gives you a different flash memory map in Linux than what you had before in U-Boot, so it's not really nice either. Hm... it seems the majority of MPC8272ADS boards seems to come indeed with 8 MB NOR flash, so I wonder if the patch should actually go in?
