I thought that I did provide exactly this information, when I
indicated that this function no longer even existed in upstream.

The replacement in upstream was to fold this functionality into
another function -- but I found that function much more complex and
difficult to follow.

So I went with the simple fix.

I also don't have that.  I might post it to the mtd list, to see if
they have any interest in either approving it as-is for 3.0 series, or
doing the backport of the current code.

Thanks again for your time.
