Do you mean

		if (fm->flags & ~UBI_FM_SB_FLG_MASK) {

?

Because you test will return an error if at least one of all the
possible flags are not set, which I guess is a valid case.

Is there really a point in supporting FM v2 so early in the patch
series? I mean, the new thing in v2 is flag support, and here you fail
when ->flags != 0. Better add support for at least one flag before
saying you support v2 IMO.

How about renaming that one UBI_FM_MAX_SUPPORTED_VERSION or something
like that.

It really feels weird to hardcode that. What if you're reading a
fastmap volume that has version 2 set, and need to update it? Does that
mean you'll downgrade the FM to version 1 or will you prevent updating
the it?

How about naming that one UBI_FM_SB_SUPPORTED_FLG_MASK since you seem
to add new flags afterwards without changing the version number.
