Do you have a use case?

The module_param_string kernel doc says

        "@len: the maximum length of the string, incl. terminator"

and later

        "@len is usually just sizeof(string)."

So I suppose sizeof(name) will be enough.

Hi Daniel,

Also, "mtd: mtdram:" would be a better prefix, and you can drop the
period at the end of the commit title.

Me best guess is dealing with existing mtdparts.
...which is a sane use case IMHO.

If we add this feature to mtdram, we should consider it for nandsim too.

I was testing some userspace mtd code that searches for a specific mtd partition
by name. I didn't want to rename the partition name in the code every time I
test with mtdram.
I was thinking someone else might run into a similar situation, so I pushed it
upstream.
