Of course it can; that just means you have to fix MTD
and/or the way your platform calls MTD.

The bigger Linux community does not (and should not)
care about your corporate schedules.  Your patches
won't be merged upstream until they are deemed to be
of acceptable quality.  If that doesn't fit your
employer's schedule, well tough luck, they can maintain
their own kernel fork I'm sure?
