UBI_LAYOUT_VOLUME_TYPE and UBI_LAYOUT_VOLUME_ALIGN are currently
defined but not used.
Use them at least once. 8-)

Hi Richard,

This will break backward compatibility - older and current kernels which
do not have this patch will error out when the find a volume without a
name. The right way to do this would be to change the UBI format
version, but you would need a really strong reason for this.

Sorry, this comment makes absolutely no sense.

Did you mean my other patch?
But still, the other patch also does *not* allow volumes without names.

Confused,

Yes, sorry, ignore this one - I've pushed your patch.
