This patch is a preparation to make UBI devices dynamic. It adds an UBI control device which has dynamically allocated major number and registers itself as "ubi_ctrl". It does not do anything so far. The idea is that this device will allow to attach/detach MTD devices from userspace. This is symilar to what the Linux device mapper has. The next things to do are: * Fix UBI, because it now assumes UBI devices cannot go away * Implement control device ioctls which will attach/detach MTD devices Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
