/**
* struct ubi_attach_req - attach MTD device request.
* @ubi_num: UBI device number to create
* @mtd_num: MTD device number to attach
* @vid_hdr_offset: VID header offset (use defaults if %0)
* @padding: reserved for future, not used, has to be zeroed
*
* This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the
* parameters it has to use. The number which should be assigned to the new UBI
* device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assing the number if
* @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
* @ubi_num.
*
* Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
* offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
* the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset
* 512 in case of a 512 bytes page NAND flash with no sub-page support. Or
* it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
*
* But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
* a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if the
* VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages. As
* the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it needs
* UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird example,
* but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would be
* 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
* aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th sub-page
* of the first page and add needed padding.
