[RFC][PATCH] UBI: Make MTD_UBI_FASTMAP non-experimental

Show all headers | View raw

MTD_UBI_FASTMAP has been set as experimental since it
was merged back in 2012.

There hasn't been much change in the format,
so we can consider the feature stable and start
being careful about breaking the format.
(This is somewhat of a pre-requisite for anyone actually
using the feature in the real world and depending on it)

Drop the experimental note and the warning text about
the on-flash format not being finalized.

-
 	   Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
 	   in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
 	   only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
