The patch titled
mtd: simplify test for RAM devices
has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is
mtd-simplify-test-for-ram-devices.patch
See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this
From: Joern Engel <joern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
mtdblock is the only user of aggregate capabilities in mtd. This is clearly
bogus and should be changed. In particular, it tries to determine whether the
device in question is a piece of RAM. For every single driver that fits the
current criteria, an easier test would be to check for the type being MTD_RAM.
