Subject: [PATCH 5.6 020/126] mtd: Fix mtd not registered due to nvmem name collision

From: Ricardo Ribalda Delgado <ribalda@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 7b01b7239d0dc9832e0d0d23605c1ff047422a2c ]

When the nvmem framework is enabled, a nvmem device is created per mtd
device/partition.

It is not uncommon that a device can have multiple mtd devices with
partitions that have the same name. Eg, when there DT overlay is allowed
and the same device with mtd is attached twice.

Under that circumstances, the mtd fails to register due to a name
duplication on the nvmem framework.

With this patch we use the mtdX name instead of the partition name,
which is unique.
