We now have two paths through this function that can "Return" a NULL
dev_desc. This makes it impossible for sandbox and ubifs to successfully
co-exist in the same U-Boot binary, since the sandbox and ubifs fs probe
functions won't be able to tell if "hostfs" or "ubifs" was passed to
get_device_and_partition(). Perhaps there's no ubifs support in sandbox
right now, so there's no issue?

If this is an issue that needs to be solved now, I think the best
solution would be for the two special cases in
get_device_and_partition() to "return" a real dev_desc rather than NULL.
Since there's nothing meaningful to put there, how about returning a
hard-coded value that can then be checked in the fs probe functions to
make sure it matches:

get_device_and_partition():

        if (hostfs) {
                ...
                *dev_desc = &hostfs_fake_dev_desc;
                ...
                return 0;
        }
        if (ubi) {
                ...
                *dev_desc = &ubifs_fake_dev_desc;
                ...
                return 0;
        }

ubifs_set_blk_dev():

        if (rbdd != &ubifs_fake_dev_desc)
                return -1;
        ...
        return 0;

... that said, I wonder if the ubifs special case in
get_device_and_partition() shouldn't actually perform the ubifs_mount()
call itself, based on the user-supplied parameters?
