The MTD subsystem has historically tried to be as configurable as possible. The
side-effect of this is that its configuration menu is rather large, and we are
gradually shrinking it. For example, we recently merged partitions support with
the mtdcore.

This patch does the next step - it merges the mtdchar module to mtdcore. And in
this case this is not only about eliminating too fine-grained separation and
simplifying the configuration menu. This is also about eliminating seemingly
useless kernel module.

Indeed, mtdchar is a module that allows user-space making use of MTD devices
via /dev/mtd* character devices. If users do not enable it, they simply cannot
use MTD devices at all. They cannot read or write the flash contents. Is it a
sane and useful setup? I believe not. And everyone just enables mtdchar.

Having mtdchar separate is also a little bit harmful. People sometimes miss the
fact that they need to enable an additional configuration option to have
user-space MTD interfaces, and then they wonder why on earth the kernel does
not allow using the flash? They spend time asking around.

Thus, let's just get rid of this module and make it part of mtd core.

Note, mtdchar had additional configuration option to enable OTP interfaces,
which are present on some flashes. I removed that option as well - it saves a
really tiny amount space.

[dwmw2: Strictly speaking, you can mount file systems on MTD devices just
        fine without the mtdchar (or mtdblock) devices; you just can't do
        other manipulations directly on the underlying device. But still I
        agree that it makes sense to make this unconditional. And Yay! we
        get to kill off an instance of checking CONFIG_foo_MODULE, which is
        an abomination that should never happen.]

Remove useless extern qualifiers. Not that this is a problem, but we more often
declare function prototypes without 'extern', so this is just about being more
consistent. And I am going to add a couple more prototypes here.

Additionally, remove a useless comment.

Use 'unsigned int' instead of 'unsigned long' in the NAND chip description data
structure, because 32-bits is more than enough for our purposes. We do not need
64-bits, which is what we end up on 64-bit architectures. We declare many
instances of this data structure, so this should help saving some amount of
memory.

'mtd_device_parse_register()' and 'parse_mtd_partitions()' functions accept a
an array of character pointers. These functions modify neither the pointers nor
the characters they point to. The characters are actually names of the MTD
parsers.

At the moment, the argument type is 'const char **', which means that only the
names of the parsers are constant. Let's turn the argument type into 'const
char * const *', which means that both names and the pointers which point to
them are constant.
