+Subject: [PATCH] mtd-utils: Fix return value of ubiformat
+
+This changeset fixes a feature regression in ubiformat. Older versions of
+ubiformat, when invoked with a flash-image, would return 0 in the case no error
+was encountered. Upon upgrading to latest, it was discovered that ubiformat
+returned 255 even without encountering an error condition.
+
+This changeset corrects the above issue and causes ubiformat, when given an
+image file, to return 0 when no errors are detected.
+
+Tested by running through my loading scripts and verifying ubiformat returned
+0.
