I would update to the ubi/ubifs backported v2.6.32 because:
- the ubi/mtd CFI buffer write patch involves several patches, with one or two
   patches/updates lateron
- other NOR flash (power cut) problems were solved as well and you're not sure
   which one hurts you

Actually, we are very lucky Artem still maintains (or maintained?) ubifs-v2.6.32.git
since v2.6.32 is more than 3 years old.
