In fact, even the MTD wiki mentions that JFFS2 needs mtdblock to mount a rootfs: http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/jffs2.html Moreover, I suspect there may be lots of users that still believe mtdblock is somehow needed to mount SquashFS. I've taken a verbose route and added a pr_warn warning if the devices are NAND. I don't think using NAND without UBI is too wise, and given the amount of outdated tutorials I believe some advertising will help. These patches are compile-tested only, as I don't have devices ready to test, but I can undust some boards and do some experiments if you think it's needed. Oh, and PS: We also need to update the wiki.
