Merge tag 'upstream-3.15-rc1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs
Pull ubifs updates from Artem Bityutskiy: "This pull request includes the 'ubiblock' driver which provides R/O block access to UBI volumes. It is useful for those who want to use squashfs on top of raw flash devices. UBI will provide bit-flip handling and wear-levelling in this case (e.g., if there are other UBI volumes with R/W UBIFS too). The driver is actually pretty small and it is part of the UBI kernel subsystem. Delivered by Ezequiel Garcia, along with a piece of documentation on the MTD web site and the user-space tool for creating and removing block devices" * tag 'upstream-3.15-rc1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs: UBI: block: Remove __initdata from ubiblock_param_ops UBI: make UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK take a parameter for future usage UBI: rename block device ioctls UBI: block: Use ENOSYS as return value when CONFIG_UBIBLOCK=n UBI: block: Add CONFIG_BLOCK dependency UBI: block: Use 'u64' for the 64-bit dividend UBI: block: Mark init-only symbol as __initdata UBI: block: do not use term "attach" UBI: R/O block driver on top of UBI volumes
