kernel: rootfs auto-mount on ubi
Similar to the rootfs hacks on NOR flash devices, this series introduces support for auto-attaching (ubi device), auto-creating (ubiblock device) and mounting the "rootfs" (ubifs or squashfs) volume. This is needed so OpenWrt can start without relying on the bootloader to pass the ubi.mtd, ubi.block, rootfs and rootfstype parameters, but instead auto-detect the root filesystem according to a simple convention. OpenWrt-specific: 490-ubi-auto-attach-mtd-device-named-ubi-or-data-on-boot.patch 491-ubi-auto-create-ubiblock-device-for-rootfs.patch 492-try-auto-mounting-ubi0-rootfs-in-init-do_mounts.c.patch 493-ubi-set-ROOT_DEV-to-ubiblock-rootfs-if-unset.patch sent upstream: 552-ubifs-respect-silent-mount-flag.patch http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2014-May/053893.html v2: actually retry with MS_RDONLY when mounting read-only ubifs root Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org> SVN-Revision: 41119
