Currently, there is no way to find out the offset of an mtd partition by a driver. This might be needed by external hardware.
For example, a flash containing the firmware of an external device that is also accessible by the main cpu/kernel.
The flash is big enough to have two partitions with 2 versions of the firmware, so we can have a safe upgrade.
Once the flash has been updated we need the real offset, so we can write it on the external device registers.
