May be we shall start some discussions and put forth some ideas, which 
might eventually invite some volunteers.

What is your proposal of syncing with the latest code?
* Pick out changes from the Kernel's git (pick out UBI related commits 
right from the point where current u-boot code is)
* Compare and move the code

Both are equally complicated with the second option having very less 
chance to figure out why that was added. Ideas are welcome.
