This patch is line-wrapped and cannot be applied. Would you please send
a non-wrapped version. You may experiment by sending to yourself, then
saving, and then applying using "git am".

This changes is not needed unless there is other code which needs this
function. So once I get a non-wrapped patch I can create a branch for
you in the UBIFS tree and collect your patches. Once they are ready,
they can be merged.
