Linus,
please, apply the below UBI bugfix. The patch is quite trivial and fixes
an unpleasant UBI bug when it cannot attach an MTD device because it
first reserves the bad block handling pool (not mandatory), and then
tries to reserve a mandatory PEB. It should be vice versa.
From: Artem Bityutskiy <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH] UBI: bugfix: allocate mandatory EBs first
First allocate the necessary eraseblocks, then the optional ones.
Otherwise it allocates all PEBs for bad EB handling, and fails
on then following EBA LEB allocation.
