hi all,

I'd like to access to a memory area on a mtd device, without having 
compiling the mtd support in the kernel.
(read a firmware info, on a embeded environment => kernel as small as 
possible)
Is there any isue?

I mean:
is the device mapped anywhere, or is it really invisible, if i don't 
compile the mtd support?
If it is visible (how can i check that point?) do you know if there is 
any way to access it (like in flat mode, by a largest descriptor or 
something...)?


thanks for answers!

Fred
