Looks like a good idea, I should have thought about it ;)
My only nit is that the _init() calls will be executed with the MTD table mutex held, but I suppose it’s acceptable.

However please do not remove the comments I left in the code. Furthermore, for the sake of consistency the module should also react to the (arguably unlikely) removal of the target MTD partitions: a .remove() callback will deal with that. Finally the inclusion of mtd/mtd.h is not necessary in the routerboot.h header (we’re using pointers and that header has no dependency on mtd).

I have amended your patch to reflect the above comments, and adjusted the commit message.

Can you confirm this still works for you? I cannot test it myself now.

Thanks,
T
