mtd_blkdev.c: Why is .blksize a member of mtd_blktrans_ops instead of mtd_blktrans_dev?

[Thilo Fromm]

Hello list,

I really don't see why .blksize (and .blkshift for that matter) is a
member of struct mtd_blktrans_ops. I feel like it should be in
mtd_blktrans_dev.

I'm asking because in our FTL I'd like to set blksize to the page size
of the underlying flash. I understand I could manipulate tr->blksize
and tr->blkshift in my add_mtd() callback implementation (because
these fields do not seem to be used beforehand by mtd_blkdevs.c
anyway), but it feels kind of hacky.

So why are blksize and blkshift members of the struct providing
callback functions of a device instead of the struct providing device
data?

Regards,
Thilo
