What I meant was simply something like this:

#define UBI_WL_THRESHOLD INT_MAX

Put a comment above it why it is done and remove the Kconfig entry for
it and be done.

We found out that UBI wear leveling doesn't work reliably in barebox, so
we should make sure that it's disabled completely and not just change
the defaults (which could be changed back by an unwary user)
