The driver provides wear leveling by storing erase counter into the

+ bool "Retain master device when partitioned"
+ default n
+ depends on MTD
+ help
+ For historical reasons, by default, either a master is present or
+ several partitions are present, but not both. The concern was that
+ data listed in multiple partitions was dangerous; however, SCSI does
+ this and it is frequently useful for applications. This config option
+ leaves the master in even if the device is partitioned. It also makes
+ the parent of the partition device be the master device, rather than
+ what lies behind the master.
