Yes, of course.

I'm still not happy with creating nodes for application
flash partitions in the device tree; this isn't done
for disk partitions either, for analogue reasons (namely,
that info doesn't belong in the device tree, it is the
wrong abstraction).

How do non-device-tree MTD users handle this?
