The following patch is somehow causing the issue:

target/linux/generic/patches-3.18/494-mtd-ubi-add-EOF-marker-support.patch

Still investigating further.

[    3.295677] UBI: auto-attach mtd11
[    3.295698] UBI: attaching mtd11 to ubi0
[    3.334563] UBI: EOF marker found, PEBs from 29 will be erased
[    3.334725] UBI: scanning is finished
[    3.339293] UBI error: ubi_read_volume_table: the layout volume was not found
[    3.343386] UBI error: ubi_attach_mtd_dev: failed to attach mtd11, error -22
[    3.350150] UBI error: ubi_auto_attach: cannot attach mtd11

But with the above patch removed the board will boot when flashed from u-boot.
