While porting these back is not wrong, I have a hard time to see how the
current stables rules apply here.

"mtd: ubi: skip programming unused bits in ubi headers" does not fix anything.
It's a pure optimization for future flashes, UBI worked since ever without this
change.

"ubi: fastmap: fix ubi->fm memory leak" fixes a memory leak, yes. But only in a failure
path at attach time. Userspace cannot trigger this.

Thanks,
