Subject: [patch/RESEND 2.6.29-rc3] MTD: we don't need no misc devices

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

Remove <linux/miscdevice.h> from various drivers which don't
actually use any of its contents.  There are still a number
of these left in arch-specific bits of the tree.

(Found by diffing results of "grep -rl" for linux/miscdevice.h
and for misc_register, examining the differences, and verifying
removals with a build test.)
