[OE-core] split mtd-utils

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Along the lines of the oe classic patch I propose to split as follows:


mtd-utils-jffs2 package containing
jffs2dump
jffs2reader
mkfs.jffs2

mtd-utils-ubifs package containing:
mkfs.ubifs
ubiattach
ubicrc32
ubidetach
ubiformat
ubimkvol
ubinfo
ubinize
ubirename
ubirmvol
ubirsvol
ubiupdatevol

mtd-utils package containing:
docfdisk
doc_loadbios
flashcp
flash_erase
flash_eraseall
flash_lock
flash_otp_dump
flash_otp_info
flash_unlock
ftl_check
ftl_format
mtd_debug
mtdinfo
nanddump
nandtest
nandwrite
nftldump
nftl_format
recv_image
rfddump
rfdformat
serve_image
sumtool

Or do we need to make additional packages (like e.g. for (n)tfl )

Best regards, Frans
