May UBIFS be used on MLC NAND flash?

Yes, it should run fine. Let's consider the specific aspects of MLC NAND flashes:

MLC NAND flashes are more "faulty" than SLC, so they use stronger ECC codes which occupy whole OOB area; this is not a problem for UBI/UBIFS, because neither UBIFS nor UBI use OOB area;
when the data is written to an eraseblock, it has to be written sequentially, from the beginning of the eraseblock to the end of it; this is also not a problem because it is exactly what UBI and UBIFS do (see also  this  section);
MLC flashes have rather short eraseblock life-cycle of just few thousand of erase cycles; and this is not be a problem, because UBI uses deterministic wear-leveling algorithm (see this  section).
How to mount UBIFS?

UBIFS mounts UBI volumes, not UBI devices, not MTD devices. There are no block device nodes corresponding to UBI volumes and UBIFS uses device-less mount, just like
