    Well, the above should be in a separate module...

    Looks like this is also called if the partition info was supplied by an 
external parser (e.g. command line). The original physmap driver seems to 
behave the same way -- there's a check for info->nr_parts there as well but 
this field *never* gets set there...

    The info->nr_parts not set here, hence del_mtd_partitions() not called.
The original physmap driver behaves the same way, I wonder if this was 
intentional...
