Hi Shmulik, I've separated out the defconfig changes and pushed patches
1,2, and 3 to the UBI tree (the master branch). Patches 4 and 5 are
already merged upstream. I did a couple of minor modifications in
commentaries and messages and I think in variables declaration section,
nothing else. I'll send you the patches separately.

Thanks!
