Yeah, I managed to get ubiufsmount work in U-Boot now. Need to disable
the 4K_SECTORS when enabling UBI at NOR flash.

Would you able to include me to the thread? Thanks in advance!

I hardly use simulation except for in house pre-silicon validation. But
I use DS-5 a lot to troubleshoot an issue (by probing various registers
including cp15).
