openwrtv3/target/linux/generic/patches-3.14/490-mtd-ubi-add-EOF-marker-support.patch
John Crispin 5d2c810101 kernel: add the ubifs EOF marker support to 3.14 kernel
Without this patch the UBIFS driver is unable to attach to the mtd
storage and mount the root FS.

Fixes a kernel panic with Netgear WNDR4300/3700v4 devices.
