Hello Pali,
had a look at this patch, and have some questions. See below.

Agreed.

From grepping through u-boot source, I can not quite follow. Where is that
variable set and where is it used?

Okay.

Okay.

This might be problematic. For a downstream board we use the 'bootubivol' env
variable to switch between different volumes for update purposes. Means on
firmware update we modify U-Boot environment from Linux (fw_setenv) after
successfully updating the inactive volume.

How would one switch the default UBI volume to be booted from then?
