This patchset adds UBIFS read-only support to U-Boot. The following commands are implemented:
ubifsmount Mount an UBIFS volume
ubifsls List a directory of the mounted UBIFS volume
ubifsload Load a file from the mounted UBIFS volume to memory
The U-Boot UBIFS implementation is largely a direct copy from the current Linux version (2.6.29-rc6). As already done in the UBI version we have an "abstraction layer" to redefine or remove some OS calls (e.g. mutex_lock() ...). This makes it possible to use the original Linux code with very little changes. And by this we can better update to later Linux versions.
I removed some of the Linux features that are not used in the U-Boot version (e.g. garbage-collection, write support).

I don't understand the split of this patchset into 8 patches, which all use the very same subject (= commit title line) and commit message.
It seems the splitting was done just for size reasons, not taking into account any logic parts that belong together or bi-sectability.
Please explain why this is not just a single commit?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
