This is what I've got from the code [1].
Code flow
---------
common/cmd_ubifs.c:
do_ubifs_mount calls ubifs_mount
fs/ubifs/super.c,
In ubifs_mount() (line 1167)
flags = MS_RDONLY; (line 1188)
calls ubifs_get_sb (with flags as a param)
ubifs_get_sb (line 1018)
The flags get updated here.
sb->s_flags = flags; (line 1057)
Calls ubifs_fill_super
sb gets assigned, so are the flags.
c->vfs_sb = sb; (line 962)
Calls mount_ubifs
mount_ubifs(c); (line 983)
In mount_ubifs() (line 582)
struct super_block *sb = c->vfs_sb;
int err, mounted_read_only = (sb->s_flags & MS_RDONLY);
sb taken from the assigned ptr @ line 962.
Flags extracted from the assigned flags @ 1188.
Just see where the variable 'mounter_read_only' gets referred and you'll get the answer.
U-boot will _not_ recover your UBIFS partition like the Linux kernel. CMIIW.

Hope this helps,
