OK, anyway, I believe this is not related to UBI. I gave you several
other ideas, cannot help more than that.

This is independent problem, I think. Your driver returns EIO when UBI
writes to the flash. Looks like you have issues in the driver or HW
level.

Did you run mtd tests? Please run and validate your flash. Take a look
here, for reference:
