Using UBI is a matter of using 'ubiattach' before UBI volumes can
be used. This makes it hard to use since the various autodetection
mechanisms can't be used. This series changes this. We introduce
predictable names for UBI devices and volumes and hook UBI attachment
into the mtd devices detect callback. This makes these commands possible:
# UBI attach nand0.root and mount to /mnt/nand0.root.ubi.root:
mount nand0.root.ubi.root
or:
# boot bootspec entry on an UBIFS found on the
# UBI volume 'root' on nand0.root:
boot nand0.root.ubi.root
or just:
# If there's UBI found on nand0.root then attach it:
detect nand0.root
