Ok, below is how you was supposed to send the patch (without my
Signed-off-by, of course). I just applied your patch manually (usually
we use git am for this) and tweaked it.

Please, check that I did not do any mistake. After you have confirmed
this, I'll push this to the mtd-utils repository.

Subject: [PATCH] mkfs.ubifs: correct devtable increment handling

With the device table one can add /dev entries to the root file system
image. The device table file contains among others the fields minor,
start, increment and count. If there is an entry with minor=0 start=0
increment=32 and count=4 the mkfs.ubifs makes 128 device entries, with
minor numbers from 0 to 127. The correct version makes 4 entries with
minor number 0,32,64,96.

/dev/mtd c 640 0 0 90 0 0  2 7
This gives 14 devices /dev/mtdXX instead of  7 devices.
Due to this error mtd_debug info /dev/mtd3 delivers the information of
/dev/mtd1 instead of.
