Rafał Miłecki e90e75b12c kernel: add pending mtd patches adding NVMEM support
It's meant to provide upstream support for mtd & NVMEM. It's required
e.g. for reading MAC address from mtd partition content. It seems to be
in a final shape so it's worth testing.

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.
