Patch looks fine to me, thanks. Pushed to mtd-utils.git.
But I don't see this change documented anywhere. (Helpfully, I do see
the change from your other patch -- _BSD_SOURCE -> _DEFAULT_SOURCE --
documented though!) Should the man-pages project be updated? I see the
latest makedev(5) still recommends #include <sys/types.h>.
