I would then expect that this is actually caused by
29b4dacc55b0cb079e5b4be2fbc494e138a7d110 (mtd: nand: docg4: show
parent device in sysfs), which effectively replaces mtd->owner with
the automated value. I just noticed that
module_platform_driver_probe() doesn't set the owner like
module_platform_driver() does. I think I expected this with the spi
based drivers, but not the platform devices.

I think we'd best fix module_platform_driver_probe, but I'm happy to
send in a patch that restores "mtd->owner = THIS_MODULE" with these
drivers, if that's preferred.

I don't have a device around that actually uses
module_platform_driver_probe, so to confirm that this is actually the
problem, could you try the appended patch (hoping that the gmail
interface doesn't mess with the whitespace)?

Thanks for catching,
Frans
