Hrm, I'm unconvinced by the second version of the patch. I don't really
like adding this to the core MTD code, and I particularly dislike the
extra ->setup() method in struct mtd_partition.

Couldn't this be done as a wrapper round MTD devices, set up by the
board driver? Perhaps we could provide a template mtd_macc_{read,write}
function which board drivers can use, but I don't really like the
patches I've seen.
