[PATCH] mtd: phram: Allow multiple phram devices on cmd line

[Rob Ward]

Allow the phram module the ability to create multiple phram mtd
devices via the kernel command line.

Currently the phram module only allows a single mtd device to be
created via the kernel command line. This is due to the phram
module having to store the values until it is initialised
later. This storage is done using a single char[] meaning when
the module_param_call is made the previous value is overidden.

This change modifies the phram system to use a char[][] allowing
multiple devices to be created.

The array currently allows up to 64 devices to be created via the
kernel command line.

If the array is full a message is printed to the console and the
module_param_call returns.

To test, in all cases an area of memory needs to be reserved via
the command line e.g. memmap=10M$114M

To test with phram build into the kernel on the command line add
the following:

phram.phram=alpha,114Mi,1Mi phram.phram=beta,115Mi,1Mi

To test phram built as a module insmod with the following arguments:

phram=gamma,114Mi,1Mi phram=delta,115Mi,1Mi

In both cases two mtd devices should be created.
