This patch (patch 6) changes the mtd->type for MLC NAND. And mtd->type 
is exposed to user-space via ioctl(MEMGETINFO), and (as of this patch), 
it is exposed as "unknown" in sysfs.

Patch 8 only changes the "unknown" to "mlc-nand"---an improvement, but 
patch 6 is still the first one that makes a visible change to the ABI.
