If we don't check for the MTD before calling `legacy_get_dev_info1', we may
get errors like:

libmtd: MTD subsystem is old and does not support sysfs, so MTD character device nodes have to exist
libmtd: error!: "/dev/mtd2" is not a character device
mtdinfo: error!: libmtd failed get MTD device 2 information
         error 22 (Invalid argument)

So reverse the order of these two checks.

Looks good, thanks, but could you please send a version which applies to
mtd-utils.git? The 3rd patch in this series does not apply.

Actually, I've pushed patches 1 and 2, would you please re-send the 3rd
one?

Perhaps I should have stated in this patch thread: these patches were
meant to be on top of your previous test patch (you asked for
comments, since you compile-tested only).

Also, I do not see patches 1 and 2 in mtd-utils.git.

I will resend your original patch + my "PATCH 3" as a new series.
