patch for mkfs.ubifs devtable.c increment in dev_table is wrongly 
interpreted

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.
