[PATCH 1/2 v3] mtd/uclinux: support ROM and allow passing the base address

Uwe Kleine-König u.kleine-koenig at pengutronix.de

This allows to put the filesystem at a defined address in ROM allowing
to save more precious RAM.

I think it's safe to default to ROM because the intention of using the
uclinux map is to use a romfs and so mtd-ram doesn't give you anything
that mtd-rom doesn't.

Just in case I missed something a warning is added if the driver has to
fall back to the RAM mapping.

Changes since v2, id:1350027693-19528-1-git-send-email-u.kleine-koenig at pengutronix.de:

 - drop a few "ram"s from printks instead of making them "ram/rom"
 - fix a typo in the commit log and add rational for the introduced warning.

Who is responsible for taking (or not) these two patches? David? Artem?

Best regards
Uwe
