This happened some time ago:
commit 94a20240f9d6776619d7652013bb10131ddad1fc

    ubi-utils: remove old ubi-utils

    The utilities are unmaintained for long time, and many of them
    do not even work, just compile, and no on complains about this.
    This suggests they are unused and we can now safely kill them.
