I think it's a (weak?) style preference that this type of #include
just go in the files that need it (there are only a few -- 4 I think?)
rather than importing it directly into the mtd.h header for all users.
But I don't object strongly.

Yeah, the original patch here is good. I'll run it through the build
tests and then apply it. Feel free to send a proper follow-up with
either the diff you just sent or with the #include <linux/major.h>
moved into the appropriate .c files.
Thanks,
