You'll want #include <linux/device.h>, just to be explicit.

And if you're adding to the sysfs ABI, please update
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-mtd

gcc complains:

  drivers/mtd/mtdpart.c:568:1: warning: 'static' is not at beginning of declaration [-Wold-style-declaration]

gcc and sprase complain:

  drivers/mtd/mtdpart.c:573:5: warning: no previous prototype for 'mtd_add_partition_attrs' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
  drivers/mtd/mtdpart.c:573:5: warning: symbol 'mtd_add_partition_attrs' was not declared. Should it be static? [sparse]

Hmm, so you're adding the partition attribute only to dynamically
created partitions? I think we'll want it for all partitions. I know
the naming isn't completely straightforward, but some partitions are
added through add_mtd_device(), without calling mtd_add_partition().
