[PATCH / RESENT #3] mtd: let include/linux/mtd/partitions.h stand on its own

[PATCH / RESENT #3] mtd: let include/linux/mtd/partitions.h stand on its own

[Nicolas Pitre]

When declaring static MTD partitions in board specific code, only
including include/linux/mtd/partitions.h should suffice without
gcc nagging us with:

In file included from arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/sheevaplug-setup.c:14:
include/linux/mtd/partitions.h:50: warning: 'struct mtd_info' declared inside parameter list
include/linux/mtd/partitions.h:50: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
include/linux/mtd/partitions.h:51: warning: 'struct mtd_info' declared inside parameter list
include/linux/mtd/partitions.h:61: warning: 'struct mtd_info' declared inside parameter list
include/linux/mtd/partitions.h:67: warning: 'struct mtd_info' declared inside parameter list

but this probably wont help your patch get merged ... mtd patches tend
to languish :/
