Hello!

This series adds support for the UBI block device, which
allows to read/write data block by block. For example,
it can now be used for BCB or Android AB command:

  $ bcb load ubi 0 part_name

Tested only on SPI NAND, so bind is made only for
SPI NAND drivers. Can be used with mtdblock device [1].

---

Changes V1 -> V2 [2]:

 - Rebased over mtdblock v2 patchset [3].
 - Compile UBI partitions support only if CONFIG_BLK option
   is enabled.

Changes V2 -> V3 [4]:

 - Fix build warnings: use LBAF printf format string for lbaint_t types.

Changes V3 -> V4 [5]:

 - Rebased over u-boot/master.
 - Fix build errors and warnings if CONFIG_BLK isn't enabled.
 - Fix failed tests in cases is ubiblock device isn't binded.

Changes V4 -> V5 [6]:

  - Rebased over u-boot/master.
  - Fix build errors when CONFIG_MTD and CONFIG_MTD_UBI isn't enabled.
  - Use auto blk device devnum generation when call
    blk_create_devicef (pass -1 parameter instead of dev_seq(dev)).
