+== What is MTD ==
+The Linux source code defines MTD as "Memory Technology Device".
+In drivers/mtd/Kconfig, there is the following explanation:
+ "Memory Technology Devices are flash, RAM and similar chips, often
+ used for solid state file systems on embedded devices. This option
+ will provide the generic support for MTD drivers to register
+ themselves with the kernel and for potential users of MTD devices
+ to enumerate the devices which are present and obtain a handle on
+ them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for
+ particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N."
