+ * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
+ * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
+ * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
+ * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
+ * return value.
+ *
+ * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
+ * control device.
+ *
+ * UBI volume creation
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL IOCTL command of UBI character
+ * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
+ * pointer to it has to be passed to the IOCTL.
+ *
+ * UBI volume deletion
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL IOCTL command of the UBI character
+ * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
+ * to the IOCTL.
+ *
+ * UBI volume re-size
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL IOCTL command of the UBI character
+ * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
+ * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the IOCTL.
+ *
+ * UBI volume update
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP IOCTL command of the
+ * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
+ * size should be passed to the IOCTL. After this, UBI expects user to write
+ * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
+ * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
+ * is something like:
+ *
+ * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
+ * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
+ * write(fd, buf, image_size);
+ * close(fd);
+ *
+ * Atomic eraseblock change
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * Atomic eraseblock change operation is done via the %UBI_IOCEBCH IOCTL
+ * command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
+ * &struct ubi_leb_change_req has to be passed to the IOCTL. Then the user is
+ * expected to write the requested amount of bytes. This is similar to the
+ * "volume update" IOCTL.

+ * @vid_hdr_offset: VID header offset (use defaults if %0)
+ * @padding: reserved for future, not used, has to be zeroed
+ *
+ * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the
+ * parameters it has to use. The number which should be assigned to the new UBI
+ * device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
+ * @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
+ * @ubi_num.
+ *
+ * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
+ * offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
+ * the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset
+ * 512 in case of a 512 bytes page NAND flash with no sub-page support. Or
+ * it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
+ *
+ * But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
+ * a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if the
+ * VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages. As
+ * the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it needs
+ * UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird example,
+ * but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would be
+ * 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
+ * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th sub-page
+ * of the first page and add needed padding.
