#1465386 — [PATCH 3.14 39/46] ubi: Fix race condition between ubi device creation and udev

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Iosif Harutyunov <iharutyunov@SonicWALL.com>

commit 714fb87e8bc05ff78255afc0dca981e8c5242785 upstream.

Install the UBI device object before we arm sysfs.
Otherwise udev tries to read sysfs attributes before UBI is ready and
udev rules will not match.
