Okay, so just like for the mtdparts patch, the #ifdef is incorrect, but
more importantly, with you're rework, you're breaking all non-DM
platforms, because the UBI layer no longer creates an MTD device on the
fly, and the mtd partition creation won't take place if CONFIG_MTD is
not activated.

My suggestion would be to make mtd_probe_devices() available to everyone
(not only those who have CONFIG_MTD selected, which in turn depends on
CONFIG_DM) so that the mtd part creation is done unconditionally, and
you can safely get rid of the "dummy MTD device creation" done in UBI.
