In Buildroot, we're still using the old 1.5.2 mtd-utils version, but we
have three patches on it, you might be interested in having a look to
see if any of those patches are still relevant or not:

  https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/package/mtd/

We'll try to move to the 2.x version soon.

Thanks for all this work on mtd-utils, very nice to see the project
more active!

Best regards,

Thomas
