I realize this kind of thing would be better placed in mtd_set_of_node()
(see the patch below). Modifying the mtd->name pointer in the back of
MTD drivers is not such a good idea (suppose the driver allocated the
memory with a regular kmalloc() and tries to free mtd->name in the remove
path).
If we move that to mtd_set_of_node(), drivers that wants to support this
label property just have to check if mtd->name is NULL (after calling
mtd_set_of_node() or nand_set_flash_node()) before assigning a default
name.
For unmodified drivers we keep the existing behavior: they'll just
unconditionally override mtd->name with their own value (which might or
might not be dynamically allocated).
