I'm running mainline mtd so I guess I haven't seen this yet.

The problem is that on the Sharp Zaurus series we're stuck with a ROM
bootloader that flashes the partitions in a certain way. The above flag
allowed us to stay compatible with that and is quite important. I'm not
sure where this leaves us...

Thanks for the heads up though.
