[PATCH v3 00/18] UBI: various rework/cleanup/fixes

Hi,

Here is a set of cleanup patches (+one fix in patch 4 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.

Regards,

Boris

Changes since v2:
- fix documentation
- rename ubi_eba_set_table() into ubi_eba_replace_table()
- fix try_recover_peb()
- add a cleanup patch (patch 5)

Changes since v1:
- add a more rework/cleanups to ease future introduction of MLC support
