[PATCH 3/6] UBI: Fastmap: Notify user in case of an ubi_update_fastmap() failure

From: Richard Weinberger
Date: Sun Nov 30 2014 - 06:36:57 EST


If ubi_update_fastmap() fails notify the user.
This is not a hard error as ubi_update_fastmap() makes sure that upon failure
the current on-flash fastmap will no be used upon next UBI attach.
