+ * UBI allows to re-name up to %32 volumes at one go. The count of volumes to
+ * re-name is specified in the @count field. The ID of the volumes to re-name
+ * and the new names are specified in the @vol_id and @name fields.
+ *
+ * The UBI volume re-name operation is atomic, which means that should power cut
+ * happen, the volumes will have either old name or new name. So the possible
+ * use-cases of this command is atomic upgrade. Indeed, to upgrade, say, volumes
+ * A and B one may create temporary volumes %A1 and %B1 with the new contents,
+ * then atomically re-name A1->A and B1->B, in which case old %A and %B will
+ * be removed.
+ *
+ * If it is not desirable to remove old A and B, the re-name request has to
+ * contain 4 entries: A1->A, A->A1, B1->B, B->B1, in which case old A1 and B1
+ * become A and B, and old A and B will become A1 and B1.
+ *
+ * It is also OK to request: A1->A, A1->X, B1->B, B->Y, in which case old A1
+ * and B1 become A and B, and old A and B become X and Y.
+ *
+ * In other words, in case of re-naming into an existing volume name, the
+ * existing volume is removed, unless it is re-named as well at the same
+ * re-name request.
