That's ok. Just wanted to get a rough idea.

JFFS2 interprets that itself. The only reason why JFFS2 needed a block
device was to determine the minor number of the mtd underneith. So code
was added to find the correct mtd from "mtd0" or "mtd:some_name"
instead. I believe you can even disable CONFIG_BLOCK now.
And the code itself was moved to drivers/mtd/mtdsuper.c fairly recently.
