[PATCH 1/4] mtd: core: Check devicetree alias for index

[Vincent Whitchurch]

Allow the MTD index to be specified via a devicetree alias, so that the
number does not just depend on probe order.  This is useful to allow
pseudo-devices like phram to be optionally used on systems, without
having this affect the numbering of the real hardware MTD devices.
