[PATCH 1/1] mtd: block2mtd: add support for an optional custom MTD label

[Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>]

This patch adds support for an optional MTD label for mtd2block emulated
MTD devices.  Useful when, e.g. testing device images using Qemu.  The
following /etc/fstab line in can then be used to mount a file system
regardless of the actual MTD partition number:

    mtd:Config  /mnt    jffs2   noatime,nodiratime      0    0

Kernel command line syntax:

    block2mtd.block2mtd=/dev/sda,,Config

The ',,' is the optional erase_size, which like before this patch,
defaults to PAGE_SIZE when omitted.
