Flashing ubinize image under U-Boot

Hi,

I would like to support UBI under U-Boot. I could successfully flash a raw UBIFS image with the "ubi write" command, and also a UBI (ubinize) image with the nand write command. So it's working well. But in the second case, I will loose all existing information (e.g. the erase counters). Under Linux, there's the "ubiformat" application, which can flash this image, while preserves the existing informations.

Does the U-Boot support flashing UBI (ubinize) images on the same way (preserving partition informations)? Or if not, then is there any plan to extend the "ubi write" to support the ubinize images?
