Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: mtd: partitions: add UBI binding

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@...ecki.pl>

UBI is often used on embedded devices to store UBI volumes with device
configuration / calibration data. Such volumes may need to be documented
and referenced for proper boot & setup.

Some examples:
1. U-Boot environment variables
2. Device calibration data
3. Default setup (e.g. initial password)

+title: UBI (Unsorted Block Images) device
+
+description: |
+  UBI is a layer providing logical volumes (consisting of logical blocks) on top
+  of raw flash devices. It deals with low-level flash issues (bit-flips, bad
+  physical eraseblocks, wearing) providing a reliable data storage.
+
+  UBI device is built and stored in a single flash partition.
+
+  Some (usually embedded) devices use UBI volumes of specific names or indexes
+  to store setup / configuration data. This binding allows describing such
+  volumes so they can be identified and referenced by consumers.
