This is needed to use $ mount /dev/ubi0_0 /mnt/nand
You'll also need a recent libblkid with UBI and UBIFS
support.

Is this for the kernel?

I do not think UBIFS should interpret the file name.  It should
work off the major and minor numbers from the device node
irrespective of what its path name or file name is.

Yes

UBIFS is currently a "nodev" filesystem, it's why I did it that way.

Using name and kern_path we can find the corresponding inode (and
major/minor informations).
But I don't see a way to open the corresponding UBI volume with only
major/minor.
ubi_open_volume use ubi_num and vol_id.
vol_id is minor()-1, but major is not related to ubi_num.

UBI have a "ubi_major2num" internally, is it ok to export this symbol ?

Thanks

But UBI volume may have arbitrary names. Could we invent something
better?

Using name and kern_path we can find the corresponding inode (and
major/minor informations).
ubi_open_volume use ubi_num and vol_id.
vol_id is minor()-1, but major is not related to ubi_num.

UBI have a "ubi_major2num" internally, is it ok to export this symbol ?

Then we could do something like
ubi_open_volume(ubi_major2num(major()), minor()-1)

Sounds good.
