The ioctl UBI_IOCATT has been extended with max_beb_per1024 parameter.
This parameter is used for adjusting the "maximum expected number of
bad blocks per 1024 blocks" for each mtd device.
The number of physical erase blocks (PEB) that UBI will reserve for bad
block handling is now:
whole_flash_chipset__PEB_number * max_beb_per1024 / 1024
This means that for a 4096 PEB NAND device with 3 MTD partitions:
mtd0: 512 PEB
mtd1: 1536 PEB
mtd2: 2048 PEB
the commands:
ubiattach -m 0 -d 0 -b 20 /dev/ubi_ctrl
ubiattach -m 1 -d 1 -b 20 /dev/ubi_ctrl
ubiattach -m 2 -d 2 -b 20 /dev/ubi_ctrl
will attach mtdx to UBIx and reserve:
80 PEB for bad block handling on UBI0
80 PEB for bad block handling on UBI1
80 PEB for bad block handling on UBI2
=> for the whole device, 240 PEB will be reserved for bad block
handling.
This may seems a waste of space, but as far as the bad blocks can appear
every where on a flash device, in the worst case scenario they can
all appear in one MTD partition.
So the maximum number of expected erase blocks given by the NAND
manufacturer should be reserve on each MTD partition.

More utilities now use the common VERSION system.
For utils that printed a very simple message, we use the new
common_print_version() "function."

The ubi-utils/src/ subdir is tossed as it just complicates things for no
real gain. The dictionary.h header is relocated to the ubi-utils/include/
since other headers in there need it.
The top level clean is replaced with a `find -delete` on objects, so it
might prune more than necessary, but many projects now do this sort of
thing and no one complained there.
A "mkdep" helper generates the actual rule, and the variables are used
with "foreach" to expand these automatically.
The tests subdir is updated only to reflect the ubi-utils source move.
Otherwise, it is left untouched as making that non-recursive isn't really
worth the effort.
While we're gutting things, also through in kbuild style output while
building to make things more legible.
