mtd tests may erase the mtd device, so force the user to specify which
mtd device to test by using the module parameter. Disable the default
(using mtd0) since this may destroy a vital part of the flash if the
module is inserted accidently or carelessly.

How about adding something like:

if (dev == -1) {
	printk(KERN_WARN "Please, specify the test MTD device\n");
	printk(KERN_WARN "WARNING: this test destroys the test MTD device's data\n");
	return -1;
}

Of course for the readtest the warning should not be printed.

Note, I've pushed this patch to l2-mtd-2.6.git, thanks!

Ah, I am just about to test V2 of this patch :)

You didn't like PATCH 2/2?

I thought we need to have a fix faster so decided to push your patch as
it is, and then add some printks on top of that.

Just replied - I am not sure about the EXPERIMENTAL dependency you add.
