yes, use http://git.infradead.org/users/dedekind/ubifs-v2.6.35.git to update.

it has several "NOR power cut" fixes, for example:

http://git.infradead.org/users/dedekind/ubifs-v2.6.35.git/commit/152780c61d65b0cc5cd5cc974e926a9c47534d5e
http://git.infradead.org/users/dedekind/ubifs-v2.6.35.git/commit/9258edaca1d7b36abd0e23661579c35fe9c4f00f
http://git.infradead.org/users/dedekind/ubifs-v2.6.35.git/commit/e5d7669e2fa0797c0c110fa9bf3e51b013ba399b

which I doubt are in 2.6.35.3

Btw. we used the (no longer available) http://git.infradead.org/users/dedekind/ubifs-v2.6.29.git
(that has been kept up-to-date with mainline till June 2011) to update our sources, and we see
no NOR power cut issues.
