You're not the only one. I'm using a nearly identical approach here.
We willprovide an extension soon; we're going to create an additional variable 'mtddevnum'.
Note: the numbering will be exactly as partitions are listed in the $mtdparts variable. This way user can fully control the indexing sequence but it is also a bit more troublesome you have to take care about the order of devices in $mtdparts.
But the greater flexibilty seems to me to be a big advantage over any fixed scheme which cannot know about the init sequence in the Linux kernel.
Is this OK with you?
