Yes, I noticed these types of messages too before kernel v5.18. Since 
commit 013e6292aaf5e4b0("mtd: rawnand: Simplify the locking"), the 
behavior of nand_get_device() is changed. A process who is invoking 
nand_get_device() during rebooting won't be stucked, it will get an 
EBUSY error code, that's why we see the above messages from UBI module.
After commit 8cba323437a49a4("mtd: rawnand: protect access to rawnand 
devices while in suspend"), the behavior of nand_get_device() is changed 
back. A process who is invoking nand_get_device() during rebooting will 
be stucked again, so there should be no error messages in UBI layer.
So, is your kernel version lower than v5.18?
