Right, UBI allocates device numbers dynamically, so pre-creating device
nodes is not a good idea.

Major/minor for every UBI device / UBI volume can be found at:

/sys/class/ubi/ubiX/dev
/sys/class/ubi/ubiX_Y/dev

Or the major number can be indeed found at /proc/devices, and then the
minor numbers follow the following fomula:

UBI Volume major number = UBI device major number.
UBI Volume minor number = UBI volume ID + 1.
