UBI: Add ubi_open_volume_path
Add an 'ubi_open_volume_path(path, mode)' function which works like 'open_bdev_exclusive(path, mode, ...)' where path is the special file representing the UBI volume, typically /dev/ubi0_0. This is needed to teach UBIFS being able to mount UBI character devices. [Comments and the patch were amended a bit by Artem] Signed-off-by: Corentin Chary <corentincj@iksaif.net> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
