This does seem to be real.

As of 99c18ce580c6 ("cramfs: direct memory access support") cramfs
seems to require MTD, but that's not expressed in the Kconfig.

Oddly, _some_ of the mtd functions are protected with

    if (IS_ENABLED(CCONFIG_CRAMFS_MTD) ..)

but cramfs_mtd_fill_super() is not.

It is only *used* if CONFIG_CRAMFS_MTD is enabled (the call to
mount_mtd(.., cramfs_mtd_fill_super) is conditional, but..
