Putting squashfs on top of an UBI volume can be achieved using a recent
UBI feature, that allows block creation on UBI volumes.

You can find the latest kernel patches at:

http://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs.git

These patches are very easy to backport on v3.10 (I use them on v3.2).

The website documentation should be updated soon, but here's something
until that happens:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/323628/

The userspace tool to handle this will be pushed soon.
