99% of the updates happened in the file ubifs.c. The rest is cosmetic 
(super.c):

There is code specific to U-boot that has been reworked:
ubifs_load was the basis to create ubifs_open, ubifs_read, ubifs_close
ubifs_ls was the basis to create ubifs_opendir, ubifs_closedir
ubifs_stat is also derived from U-boot code.

or  renamed
ubifs_printdir -> ubifs_doreaddir (similar to Linux code)


There is code added to Barebox:
ubifs_probe,  ubifs_remove.

To do:
zlib is commented out. Only lzo support has been tested.
Entry point:  there is no 'link' entry point.
