Now I got output, thank you. I have to investigate more to get a better picture.

Our device is running with 2.6.34, with the patches from 
git://git.infradead.org/users/dedekind/ubifs-v2.6.34.git. I'm also able to open 
mount the image with linux 3.13  (Ubuntu 14.04/x86_64) and the mtdram module.
As soon the image is once mounted (and recovered) either with 2.6.34 or 3.13, 
the U-Boot V2014.10 can load it as well.

Here the dmesg output mount with linux 3.13 which succeeds:

Thank you for the hint. I will start from there.
