Okay, just tried to test it. Does ubifsmount even work for you?
I cannot mount volume neither using name nor id.

Does not work on NAND:

Does not work on OneNAND:

ubifsmount - mount UBIFS volume

See? It even gives different output for the same command.
Tried every possible options to mount volume found in open_ubi...

So given above unfortunate state, I'm considering fixing $subject mentioned
a bit pointless as I'm not able to test it.

I'll look at mount problems later.
