I have tried to change size from u_int32_t to u_int64_t, but kernel had
unrsolved symbol: __udivdi3 and __moddi3 while linking, I thought those two
functions should come from libgcc.a, if I link to libgcc, the problem should
be resolved, or I can just use do_div() from asm/div64 to replace "/" and
"%" for mtd_info->size.
I used do_div() method, and modified source line that use __udivdi3 and
__moddi3 to use do_div() instead, after that the linking probem was gone,
but kernel had some problem showing MTD partition names:
Using physmap partition information

0x00000000-0x00040000 : "<NULL>"
0x00040000-0x00080000 : "<NULL>"

If i cat /proc/mtd the kernel Oops:

I think it must be a printk problem, and I'm still trying to resolve this...
