[PATCH 5.10 666/717] mtd: core: Fix refcounting for unpartitioned MTDs

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Dec 28 2020 - 09:38:26 EST


From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx>

commit 1ca71415f075353974524e96ed175306d8a937a8 upstream.

Apply changes to usecount also to the master partition.
Otherwise we have no refcounting at all if an MTD has no partitions.
