openwrt/target/linux/generic/pending-5.4/480-mtd-set-rootfs-to-be-root-dev.patch

From: Gabor Juhos <juhosg@openwrt.org>
Subject: kernel/3.1[02]: move MTD root device setup code to mtdcore

The current code only allows to automatically set
root device on MTD partitions. Move the code to MTD
core to allow to use it with all MTD devices.
