[PATCH 0/7] UBI: various cleanup/fixes

Hi,

Here is a set of cleanup patches (+one fix in patch 3 for a bug that
is unlikely to happen).

Note that I'm not doing that for fun. I'm currently trying to patch UBI
to support the 'LEB consolidation' concept (which is the solution we're
heading to for reliable MLC NAND support), and the duplication of
similar code blocks makes this transition harder to code/review.

This is just the beginning (more cleanup patches will come), but since
the patches are simple and self-contained I thought it would be good to
submit them early.

Regards,

Boris
