+ * print_rsvd_warning - warn about not having enough reserved PEBs.
+ * @ubi: UBI device description object
+ *
+ * This is a helper function for 'ubi_eba_init_scan()' which is called when UBI
+ * cannot reserve enough PEBs for bad block handling. This function makes a
+ * decision whether we have to print a warning or not. The algorithm is as
+ * follows:
+ * o if this is a new UBI image, then just print the warning
+ * o if this is an UBI image which has already been used for some time, print
+ * a warning only if we can reserve less than 10% of the expected amount of
+ * the reserved PEB.
+ *
+ * The idea is that when UBI is used, PEBs become bad, and the reserved pool
+ * of PEBs becomes smaller, which is normal and we do not want to scare users
+ * with a warning every time they attach the MTD device. This was an issue
+ * reported by real users.
