mtd: core: tone down suggestion that dev.parent should be set
add_mtd_device() has a comment suggesting that the caller should have set dev.parent. This is required to have the parent device symlink show up in sysfs, but not for proper operation of the mtd device itself. Currently we have five drivers registering mtd devices during module initialization, so they don't actually provide a parent device to link to. That means we cannot WARN_ON() here, as it would trigger false positives. Make the comment a bit less firm in its assertion that dev.parent should be set.
