3.0-rc4 does not have this build error when I use the .config file with it...
however, I think that 3.0-rc4 also does not build ofpart.ko as it should.

Looks to me like changes in drivers/mtd/{Kconfig && Makefile} caused this
build error.

The following commit in linux-next appears to be the culprit:

    mtd: prepare to convert of_mtd_parse_partitions to partition parser

    Prepare to convert of_mtd_parse_partitions() to usual partitions parser:
    1) Register ofpart parser
    2) Internally don't use passed device for error printing
    3) Add device_node to mtd_part_parser_data struct
    4) Move of_mtd_parse_partitions from __devinit to common text section
    5) add ofpart to the default list of partition parsers

It adds a module_init() call to ofpart.c which does not work the way
that ofpart.c is linked to mtdcore.o.  Seems like that commit series
still needs work.

OK, let's ask Dmitry to take a look at this.
