This branch merged into my tree still works fine.

Something I noticed is that the printk cleanups could look a bit nicer
if you used

	#define pr_fmt(fmt)	"uclinux[mtd]: " fmt

and then pr_notice et al. But maybe this is only subjective.

Also I'm not sure if all the comments are still correct with my change.

(And btw, your mailer is broken regarding line breaking and non-ascii
characters.)

Best regards
Uwe
