True. I should have read the entire output ;-)
But what I miss is the name of the volume inside the ubiparition. 
Nataraj gave root=ubi0:rootfs on the command line. In my example project 
I set this parameter in ubinize.cfg. But the manual way with u-boot like 
Nataraj did, doesn't show a setting like:
"An ubi-volume named rootfs resides on an mtdpart named data."
I ubinized the image outside u-boot and my kernel accepts the 
root=ubi0:rootfs. As noticed, I hardly see a volume_name definition 
"rootfs" in Nataraj's u-boot log....

May be that's the problem? A mixup of the label "data" for mtdpart name 
and ubi volume name?
"U-Boot> ubi create data" should be
"U-Boot> ubi create rootfs" or "root=ubi0:data"
Without warranty ... but @Nataraj, could you try on of the above?

Good news.
