Thanks. I've applied that to the mtd-2.6.git tree, which has a few
straggling commits I'll be asking Linus to pull shortly.

In case there are any more, would you care to complement it with a check
in the driver that detects the nonsensical case of nr_chips == 0,
assumes it means 1, and also warns about it?
