Was going through mtd ubifs page - http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/ubifs.html
Quoted: 'In order to mount UBIFS as the root file system, you have to compile
UBIFS into the kernel (instead of compiling it as a kernel module) and specify
proper kernel boot arguments and make the kernel mount UBIFS on boot.'

It seems like we need UBIFS config to be compiled as kernel built-in.
The kernel module would work if we mounted UBIFS as filesystem device
after rootfs mounted, but not as rootfs.
Let me know if that understanding is correct.
Thanks.
