+ * This structure is used to retrieve erase counter information for a specified
+ * range of PEBs on a UBI device.
+ * Erase counters are read from @start and attempts to read @length number of
+ * erase counters.
+ * The retrieved values are stored in the @erase_counters array. It is the
+ * responsibility of the caller to allocate enough memory for storing @length
+ * elements in the @erase_counters array.
+ * If a block is bad or if the erase counter is unknown the corresponding value
+ * in the array will be set to -1.
+ * The @read_length field will indicate the number of erase counters actually
+ * read. Typically @read_length will be limited due to memory or the number of
+ * PEBs on the UBI device.
