  To: linux-mtd, David Woodhouse; +Cc: linux-kernel, Atsushi Nemoto

Rather than having every map/mtd driver doing the same sequence of
registering partitions and/or devices, implement common parse_mtd().

Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
---
v2:
	- ifdef parsers in parse_mtd()
	- add "always_whole" to parse_mtd()
	- add unparse_mtd()
