[ Upstream commit 96a3295c351da82d7af99b2fc004a3cf9f4716a9 ]
Warning on every translated mtd partition results in excessive log noise if this driver is loaded:

This is more likely to annoy than to help users of embedded distros where this driver is enabled by default. Making the blockdevs available does not imply that they are in use, and warning about bootloader partitions or other devices which obviously never will be mounted is more confusing than helpful.
Move the warning to open(), where it will be of more use - actually warning anyone who mounts a file system on NAND using mtdblock.
