[RFC/PATCH 1/5] mtd: ubi: Read disturb infrastructure

From: Tanya Brokhman
Date: Sun Sep 28 2014 - 02:37:19 EST


The need for performing read disturb is determined according to new
statistics collected per eraseblock:
- read counter: incremented at each read operation
reset at each erase
- last erase time stamp: updated at each erase

This patch adds the infrastructure for the above statistics
