[PATCH mtd-utils 0/2] Support referencing MTD devices by name

[Brandon Maier]

This series adds an libmtd function and support to various MTD utilities
for looking up MTD devices by their name.

The first patch adds mtd_get_dev_info2(), an optimized function for
looking up MTD device by name with /sys/class/mtd or legacy /proc/mtd.

The second patch wraps mtd_get_dev_info2() with a helper function that
accepts Linux filesystem mount style "mtd:<name>" string and tries to
translate it to the /dev/mtdX device node. It then hooks the helper
function into a subset of tools.

There are probably many more tools in mtd-utils that could be hooked in,
but this is a proof-of-concept. More could be supported if this series
is acceptable.
