[U-Boot] why does supposedly generic flash code have references to jffs2?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  perusing the code in cmd_flash.c and i'm puzzled by this:

#if defined(CONFIG_CMD_MTDPARTS)
#include <jffs2/jffs2.h>

why would supposedly low-level MTD partitioning code have any need for
filesystem-specific header files -- in this case, jffs2?

  a similar example can be found in cmd_mtdparts.c:

#include <jffs2/load_kernel.h>

admittedly, i haven't followed the code all the way to the end, but
it's not clear to me why fundamental flash, MTD and partitioning code
should have any dependency on a particular filesystem type, but i'm
certainly willing to be corrected.
