Last thing I heard was that the device tree should not encode a device's 
expected usage, so memory nodes should not have any compatible property that 
would automatically associated them to an MTD driver. I've been adviced to 
add platform-specific code to instantiate a platform device manually 
(possibly checking if the required memory node is present in the device 
tree). This arguably makes sense, but adds more platform-specific code.

So, no need for a patch so far.
