Two-plane operation is related to NAND feature, can not involve in UBI layer.
Maybe I can firstly enable multiple plane program in MTD layer, but currently, no people 
Uses multiple plane program in Linux, only in this patch.
I don't know if this is necessary.

Good suggestion, I can improve it for next version patch. Thanks.

Yes, maybe can simplify more.
