+Subject: ubifs: Add option to create UBI FS version 4 on empty UBI volume
+
+Instead of creating an ubifs file system with format version 5 by
+default on empty UBI volumes add a compile option to create an older ubi
+with file system format version 4 instated. This allows it to be mount
+as a volume on kernel versions < 4.10, which does not support format
+version 5.
+We saw that some people can not access their older data when they
+downgraded from kernel 4.14 to kernel 4.9 to prevent this this option
+would help.

++ Instead of creating new file systems with the new ubifs file
++ system version 5, use the old format version 4 for implicitly
++ by the driver created file systems on an empty UBI volume. This
