I just updated the "ubi_sync_with_linux" branch on u-boot-ubi.

It seems UBI/UBIFS now work with the NAND on the aristainetos2
board, but my stomach says, there are some subtile issues ...

Still needs more testing, also not tested yet UBI on the SPI NOR on
this board.

If I "nand erase" the mtd device, and try "ubi part ..." it fails

:-(

But If I flash_eraseall under linux the device, and then make
"ubi part..." in U-Boot, commmand succeeds ...

bye,
Heiko
