"mtd: ubi: skip programming unused bits in ubi headers" does not fix anything. It's a pure optimization for future flashes, UBI worked since ever without this change. "ubi: fastmap: fix ubi->fm memory leak" fixes a memory leak, yes. But only in a failure path at attach time. Userspace cannot trigger this.
