Yes

(I have lot to learn about submitting kernel patches ;-) )

Unfortunately I cannot review it from a deep technical point of view
because some part of bitrot_check_worker() are not so clear to me (I'm
not an UBI expert and I need to dig a little bit further to have better
understanding), but the idea IMHO is right and it's worth having into UBI

Kind Regards,
