mtd: provide an alias for the redboot module name
parse_mtd_partitions takes a list of partition types; if the driver isn't loaded, it attempts to load it, and then it grabs the partition parser. For redboot, the module name is "redboot.ko", while the parser name is "RedBoot". Since modprobe is case-sensitive, attempting to modprobe "RedBoot" will never work. I suspect the embedded systems that make use of redboot just always manually loaded redboot prior to loading their specific nand chip drivers (or statically compiled it in).
