Subject[PATCH] mtd: Add sync/unblank function to mtdoops
From
Date
mtdoops wasn't ensuring data was flushed to flash in crash situations
after recent changes in mainline kernels as tracking the
oops_in_progress variable was no longer enough. We can use the "unblank"
console call as a sync call to tell us to write out the buffer though.

Therefore add a sync function to mtdoops and call this when console
unblank events occur.
