Well, it is slightly more complicated than a block device, in that erase 
is a separate operation from write and erase is done at a block level, 
while write is specific numbers of bytes depending on the flash 
device\chip in use. MTD started out by providing a character device 
which you allows operations on flash chips like read, write, query, etc.
