Hello folks,
the patch below updates the powerpc part of the MTD OF implementation with the new field probe-type and also fixes the typos/build warning for rom.c.
So therefore it in a way supersedes the patch from Geoff which can be seen at http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2006-December/028831.html.

partition's offset from the start of the device and the second one is
partition size in bytes with LSB used to signify a read only

Example:
