Maybe we can add that later if someone needs.

I am not sure I follow you. I am proposing to create the mtd_master
device in all cases. I believe this is the future-proof approach. Can
you make this change?

Regarding the hierarchy, I indeed agree with what you propose:
mtd_master parent of whole partition device (if any) parent of
partitions.
