-	 * Set UBI min. I/O size (@ubi->min_io_size). We use @mtd->writebufsize
-	 * for these purposes, not @mtd->writesize. At the moment this does not
-	 * matter for NAND, because currently @mtd->writebufsize is equivalent to
-	 * @mtd->writesize for all NANDs. However, some CFI NOR flashes may
-	 * have @mtd->writebufsize which is multiple of @mtd->writesize.
-	 *
-	 * The reason we use @mtd->writebufsize for @ubi->min_io_size is that
-	 * UBI and UBIFS recovery algorithms rely on the fact that if there was
-	 * an unclean power cut, then we can find offset of the last corrupted
-	 * node, align the offset to @ubi->min_io_size, read the rest of the
-	 * eraseblock starting from this offset, and check whether there are
-	 * only 0xFF bytes. If yes, then we are probably dealing with a
-	 * corruption caused by a power cut, if not, then this is probably some
-	 * severe corruption.
-	 *
-	 * Thus, we have to use the maximum write unit size of the flash, which
-	 * is @mtd->writebufsize, because @mtd->writesize is the minimum write
-	 * size, not the maximum.
