    mtd: provide an alias for the redboot module name
    
    parse_mtd_partitions takes a list of partition types; if the driver
    isn't loaded, it attempts to load it, and then it grabs the partition
    parser.  For redboot, the module name is "redboot.ko", while the parser
    name is "RedBoot".  Since modprobe is case-sensitive, attempting to
    modprobe "RedBoot" will never work.  I suspect the embedded systems that
    make use of redboot just always manually loaded redboot prior to loading
    their specific nand chip drivers (or statically compiled it in).
