[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mtdchar: replace deprecated mmap hook with mmap_prepare, clean up
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mtdchar-replace-deprecated-mmap-hook-with-mmap_prepare-clean-up.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mtdchar: replace deprecated mmap hook with mmap_prepare, clean up
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:39:40 +0000

Replace the deprecated mmap callback with mmap_prepare.

Commit f5cf8f07423b ("mtd: Disable mtdchar mmap on MMU systems") commented
out the CONFIG_MMU part of this function back in 2012, so after ~14 years
it's probably reasonable to remove this altogether rather than updating
dead code.
