I'm trying to access char device with mtdchar.c driver from user space.
I'm not able to find the header file for that to use in the user space
program.

Actually, to use the dev file's ioctls, you really do need a copy of
<mtd/mtd-user.h> and <mtd/mtd-abi.h>.

They are in the Linux kernel source tree under linux/include/mtd/, and
also in the flash utilities under include/mtd/.

What exactly do you want to do with mtdchar??
To access char driver you need to use dev file /dev/mtdchar,
it doesn't need any header file.
