[PATCH 0/8] mtd: drop unused module aliases

[PATCH 0/8] mtd: drop unused module aliases

[Johan Hovold]

When fixing a device leak in the omap2 rawnand driver I noticed it had
a no longer used platform module alias.

This series drops unused module aliases from mtd drivers that never
supported anything but OF probing or that no longer do.

Patche(s) should be available on mtd/linux.git and will be
part of the next PR (provided that no robot complains by then).
