- * To create or remove a R/O block device on top of an UBI volume the
- * %UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK and %UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK ioctl commands should be used,
- * respectively. These commands take no arguments.
+ * To create a R/O block device on top of an UBI volume the %UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK
+ * should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_blkcreate_req object is expected

+ *
+ * Conversely, to remove a block device the %UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK should be used,
+ * which takes no arguments.
