[PATCH v2 0/2] add possibility to skip CRC check for static UBI volumes

[Quentin Schulz]

Some users of static UBI volumes implement their own integrity check, thus
making the volume CRC check done at open time useless. For instance, this
is the case when one use the ubiblock + dm-verity + squashfs combination,
where dm-verity already checks integrity of the block device but this time
at the block granularity instead of verifying the whole volume.

Skipping this test drastically improves the boot-time.

Patches for mtd-utils will be available as well.

Thanks,
Quentin

v2:
  - use volume flags instead of arguments on the kernel command line as
  suggested by Richard,
