+ * This unit implements all the UBI user interfaces: kernel interfaces,
+ * character device interfaces, and sysfs interfaces.
+ *
+ * There are two kinds of character devices: UBI character devices and volume
+ * character devices. UBI character devices allow users to manipulate by whole
+ * volumes: create, remove, and resize them. Volume character devices provide
+ * volume read and update capabilities.
+ *
+ * Major and minor numbers are assigned dynamically to both UBI and volume
+ * character devices.
