Subject: UBIFS: add a commentary about log recovery
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7d08ae3c9205b559f90c3d7a3abba3c6479673c7;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

UBIFS: add a commentary about log recovery

Add a commentary which elaborates that 'ubifs_recover_log_leb()' recovers only
the last log LEB, not any. Also remove some unneeded newlines.
