I was able to successfully test on Bob after fixing the argument to fopen(). Yay!

Taking the follow-up patch for write-protection into consideration, I felt like adding fileno() in multiple places wasn't any better and having both dev_fd and dev_fp and using them wherever is appropriate. In either case we need to be careful about closing the stream and descriptor, so IMO it's easiest/cleanest to open them both in one place and close them both in another place.

Patch Set 6:

I'm sorry, I didn't think this through when suggesting to use fread()/
fwrite() for the MTD device file too: Writing should be followed by an
fflush().

Done.


I still think it's the right thing to do, at least for educating any
potential reader of our code :) well, the same is true for a version
of the loop with read()/write() that checks for EINTR.

Done.
