The ubifs settings is enabled for Agilex and Stratix10 socfpga platform with 
rootfs mounted from QSPI NOR.

Currently we are using the bootargs to mount the rootfs from QSPI NOR flash:
[    0.000000] Kernel command line: earlycon panic=-1 ubi.mtd=1 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs rw rootwait
Is it possible to mount the ubifs rootfs with the ubifs=m config during boot?
Thanks.
