In general I like having some new and advanced way to test UBI. But your patches seem to remove the old interface from debugfs, this will cause breakage of existing test scripts. So please keep the old interface too. Thanks, //richard
Thank you very much for replying to my email. I agree with you. I'll tweak my patch in the next few weeks, try to keep the old interface and be compatible with the new interface.
