Pull ubi fixes from Artem Bityutskiy:
 "A couple of fixes and clean-ups, allow for assigning user-defined UBI
  device numbers when attaching MTD devices by using the "mtd=" module
  parameter"

* tag 'upstream-3.11-rc1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubi:
  UBI: support ubi_num on mtd.ubi command line
  UBI: fastmap break out of used PEB search
  UBI: document UBI_IOCVOLUP better in user header
  UBI: do not abort init when ubi.mtd devices cannot be found
  UBI: drop redundant "UBI error" string

drivers: avoid parsing names as kthread_run() format strings

2013-07-03T23:07:41+00:00

Calling kthread_run with a single name parameter causes it to be handled
as a format string. Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string
content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents.

UBI: support ubi_num on mtd.ubi command line

2013-07-01T05:32:57+00:00

I want to be able to add UBI volumes with specific numbers, but the
command line API doesn't have that atm.  Add an additional token to
support it.

Artem: amended the patch a little bit.

UBI: fastmap break out of used PEB search

2013-05-29T13:49:02+00:00

While searching for PEB matches for each volume in the used PEB list,
the search fails to stop when the PEB is found.  This patch adds
a break in the inner loop to stop the search when it is matched.

UBI: do not abort init when ubi.mtd devices cannot be found

2013-05-16T09:37:31+00:00

The current ubi.mtd parsing logic will warn & continue on when attaching
the specified mtd device fails (for any reason).  It doesn't however skip
things when the specified mtd device can't be opened.

This scenario can be hit in a couple of different ways such as:
 - build NAND controller driver as a module
 - build UBI into the kernel
 - include ubi.mtd on the kernel command line
 - boot the system
 - MTD devices don't exist, so UBI init fails

This is problematic because failing init means the entire UBI layer is
unavailable until you reboot and modify the kernel command line.  If
we just warn and continue on, /dev/ubi_ctrl is available for userland
to add UBI volumes on the fly once it loads the NAND driver.

UBI: drop redundant "UBI error" string

2013-05-16T09:37:15+00:00

The ubi_err() macro automatically prefixes "UBI error" before the message.
By also using it here, we get a log like so:
	UBI error: ubi_init: UBI error: cannot initialize UBI, error -19

Pull MTD update from David Woodhouse:
 "Fairly unexciting MTD merge for 3.9:

   - misc clean-ups in the MTD command-line partitioning parser
     (cmdlinepart)
   - add flash locking support for STmicro chips serial flash chips, as
     well as for CFI command set 2 chips.
   - new driver for the ELM error correction HW module found in various
     TI chips, enable the OMAP NAND driver to use the ELM HW error
     correction
   - added number of new serial flash IDs
   - various fixes and improvements in the gpmi NAND driver
   - bcm47xx NAND driver improvements
   - make the mtdpart module actually removable"

Use more preferable function name which implies using a pseudo-random
