Subject: [patch/rfc 2.6.29 1/2] MTD: driver model updates

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Update driver model support in the MTD framework, so it fits
better into the current udev-based hotplug framework:

 - Each mtd_info now has a device node.  MTD drivers should set
   the dev.parent field to point to the physical device, before
   setting up partitions or otherwise declaring MTDs.

 - Those device nodes always map to /sys/class/mtdX device nodes,
   which no longer depend on MTD_CHARDEV.

 - Those mtdX sysfs nodes have a "starter set" of attributes;
   it's not yet sufficient to replace /proc/mtd.

 - Enabling MTD_CHARDEV provides /sys/class/mtdXro/ nodes and the
   /sys/class/mtd*/dev attributes (for udev, mdev, etc).

 - Include a MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR macro.  It'll work with
   udev creating the /dev/mtd* nodes, not just a static rootfs.

So the sysfs structure is pretty much what you'd expect, except
that readonly chardev nodes are a bit quirky.

Sanity tested with NOR (physmap, omap_nor, m25p80), DataFlash,
NAND (davinci, omap), OneNand (omap); with and without mtdblock.
With converted MTD drivers, /sys/devices/virtual/mtd/* are gone.
Didn't test modular configs.
