My system does not need to dynamically attach or detach MTD devices to
UBI.=A0 We can just attach all that we need through boot or module
parameters.=A0 Therefore, we don't need the UBI control device
(/dev/ubi_ctrl).=A0=A0 In order to prevent the device from existing, I
could simply comment out the misc_register and misc_deregister calls
in ubi_init or ubi_exit in /drivers/mtd/ubi/build.c.  Is this
sufficient?  Are there any unintended consequences in removing the
control device?
