For what it's worth, I personally prefer the gluebi approach. Or at
least it's design. I don't see why UBI cannot add_mtd_device for
every volume that is found within the overall MTD given to it.
It seems somewhat superfluous to add a generalized I/O layer to jffs2.
It just doesn't sit right with me.
