I think this patch, like the prior, needs to be reordered in the series.
How about adding
blkoops_register_device()
as a single patch, which is what provides support for the "non-block"
block devices? Then the blkoops_register_blkdev() can stand alone in the
first patch?
It just might be easier to review, since nothing uses
blkoops_register_device() until the mtd driver is added. So that
function and this patch would go together as a single "support non-block
devices" change.
