Subject: Can mtd partition span multiple devices

I'm wondering if a single mtd partition can span more than one physical
flash device.  For example, if two flash devices span the following
address ranges, 0x0-0x3FFFFF and 0x400000-0x7FFFFF, can an mtd partition
be defined as follows?

Name: spanning_partition
Size: 0x200000
Offset: 0x300000

So this partition would span physical addresses 0x300000 - 0x3FFFFF
(device 1) and 0x400000 - 0x4FFFFF (device 2).
