Subject: [PATCH 01/27] mtd: nand: introduce function to fix a common bug in most nand-drivers not showing a device in sysfs

Most nand drivers don't set a parent device for the mtd-device. The result
is that information in sysfs is missing (no folder device).

Comparing the output of

	git grep mtd_device_parse_register drivers/mtd/nand/

with

	git grep parent drivers/mtd/nand/ | cut -f 1 | sort -u

showed that this is a very common error. Looking at some of those drivers
a common pattern is visible which I put into a new inline function to
reduce source code size and to avoid future similiar errors.
