It's already been removed in -next:

commit 3b1b2b07088ed190090f0b1973416b6c8e49a2a1
Author: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov <dbaryshkov@...il.com>

    mtd: drop physmap_configure

    physmap_configure() and physmap_set_partitions() have no users in
kernel.
    Out of kernel users should have been converted to regular platform
device
    long ago. Drop support for this obsolete API.

Maybe this should be merged to -rc3.

Thanks for the heads up.
