Stefani,
thanks for the patch. I have not gone through it, but could we please
keep UBI and UBIFS things separate. The "ubi-utils" directory is for
UBI, could we please avoid putting this UBIFS tool there? Instead, would
it please be possible to:
A. re-name the "mkfs.ubifs" directory into "ubifs-utils", and put your
new tool there.
B. re-name the tool to something which suggests a bit better that this
is about UBIFS (not UBI), e.g.
* tuneubifs (similar to tune2fs)
* ubifsctl (similar to btrfsctl)
