Looking at it another way, why should it not be allowed, if the only 
thing stopping it from working is Niklas' fix below? If there are multiple 
ways a driver can acquire partitioning information, it is handy to be able 
to do mtd_device_parse_register() several times, rather than collecting 
all the partitioning information in one place and doing the call there, 
which I suppose would be the alternative.

I've noted that mtd/nand/diskonchip.c does it too:

        mtd_device_register(mtd, NULL, 0);
        if (!no_autopart)
                mtd_device_register(mtd, parts, numparts);

but this driver might be essentially deprecated, I don't know.
