1. You do not need to call parse_mtd_partitions() anymore - we re-worked
the partitions registration in l2-mtd-2.6.git:

I think these "---" only consume memory in .data. This is the kernel and
I think nice separators like this should be avoided.

Isn't it too much info for normal users? Should this be pr_debug()
instead? There is another similar place in your code.
