Hello,

The advantage of touching few files is only a short-term advantage,
while the drawback of being a "little kludgy and confusing for driver
writers" is a long-term, major, drawback. I think it's much better to
spend a bit of time now to touch more files, but get a nice and clean
interface, rather than leaving the kludge of stacking a MTD partition
on top of another.
Best regards,
Thomas
