Subject[PATCH 2/2] UBI: add ioctl for max_beb_per1024
Date
This patch provides the possibility to adjust the "maximum expected number of
bad blocks per 1024 blocks" (max_beb_per1024) for each mtd device from
UBI_IOCATT ioctl.

The majority of NAND devices have their max_beb_per1024 equal to 20, but
sometimes it's more.
We already could adjust that via a kernel parameter, now we can also use
UBI_IOCATT ioctl:
struct ubi_attach_req {
__s32 ubi_num;
__s32 mtd_num;
__s32 vid_hdr_offset;
__u8 max_beb_per1024;
__s8 padding[11];
};
