    ubispl: add support for loading volumes by name · 6ea31cce

    The motivation is to use the UBI atomic volume rename functionality to
    allow double copy software updates on UBI. To that end the SPL is
    configured to always load the same volume name (e.g. "u-boot"),
    whereas a software updater always installs into the secondary volume
    "u-boot_r". After successful installation, these two volume names are
    switched.
    
    This extension is protected by #ifdefs as it will somewhat slow down
    loading of volumes by id. This is because the code needs to disable
    the optimization of ignoring all volume ids which are not
    to-be-loaded, since these can only be resolved after attaching.
    
    This adds two vtbl related functions from Linux, which are taken from
    the same kernel version as the current main U-Boot UBI code (Linux 4.2
    64291f7db5bd8).
