As you're removing an already existing field, *you* should prove why it
is useless, not me. I provide you a silly use-case: i want to print a
type of flash my JFFS2 file system is working on - why mustn't I?

Again, I'm not against your claen-up, OK? But do one thing at a time
please, not 2 at once. Introduce capabilities, but don't touch mtd->type
please, why isn't this possible?

At last, if you hate mtd->type, remove it later by one patch (I hope
this won't happen :-) ).

Do you see my point?
