What about it? I removed the parser data (the third argument), but I
can't yet drop the 2nd argument, since those parser types are
different than the defaults. So I can't drop any more arguments, nor can
I convert this to mtd_device_register().

(Now, I'd like to improve the device tree handling of parser types, so
we don't need any more specialized handling in drivers like this.)

Thanks for the review! I'm happy to kill off much of this nonsense too.
And I think this will help in the long run on some other things too,
since now we have a canonical place to put common MTD bindings.
