Putting squashfs on top of an UBI volume can be achieved using a recent
UBI feature, that allows block creation on UBI volumes.

You can find the latest kernel patches at:

http://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs.git

These patches are very easy to backport on v3.10 (I use them on v3.2).

The website documentation should be updated soon, but here's something

The userspace tool to handle this will be pushed soon.
