Finally figured it out. As silly as it may sound it took me a while to
find out. My command line arguments were:

set bootargs console=ttyPSC0, 115200 ip=10.140.56.238
root=/dev/mtdblock0 rootfstype=jffs2 ; tftp 0x400000 uImage ; tftp
0x600000 lite5200b_22.dtb ; bootm 0x400000 - 0x600000 ;

The problem was

set bootargs console=ttyPSC0, 115200 ip=10.140.56.238
root=/dev/mtdblock0 ....<snip..>
                                           ^^
Yes, it was the space between the "," and "115200". Just putting it on
record so that other people dont spend as much time on fixing this
silly problem.
