You have 5.15.what exactly?  commit f41c9418c5898 was added in v5.15.46.
Your log looks like it is missing.

FWIW, commit f41c9418c5898 was supposed to fix exactly that problem with
commit e07403a8c6be01.

But to catch actual mounts it will still warn if the mtdblock device is
opened.  This can obviously cause false positives if you e.g have some
script reading from the mtdblock devices.  If you are running v5.15.46 or
later then there *is* something accessing those devices. You'll have to
figure out what it is and stop it to avoid the warning.
