UBI_FM_MAX_START*2 has nothing do to with the Fastmap size.
IMHO we need a threshold where Fastmap makes sense.
Technically Fastmap can only be used if a MTD device has >=3D UBI_FM_MAX_=
START
PEBs.
But does this makes sense? Fastmap was invented to speedup attaching on *=
large* MTDs,
The benefit in small MTDs is very little.
