you need to find out, but that Daniel's remark seems legit to me, your patch
likely changed the mtd device open order/flags.

FYI I currently dont have time to fix that regression myself and since its
likely affecting a lot of users, so I've reverted those changes. I think, that
this change is useful, so I'm still willing to merge it once fixed, no
worries. Having some upstream feedback beforehand would be a plus.

BTW it would be fair to inform upstream about this possible issue as well, so
the patch wont get merged in its current state, unless its double checked (or
just write them, that you're planning v2, so the patch is removed from their
Patchwork).
