Thanks for your .config, I was able to identify the problem.
When CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is set the compiler does not optimize this construct:

        err = ubifs_node_check_hash(c, buf, zbr->hash);
        if (err) {
                ubifs_bad_hash(c, buf, zbr->hash, lnum, offs);
                return 0;
        }

With CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_AUTHENTICATION not set, the compiler can assume that
ubifs_node_check_hash() is never true and drops the call to ubifs_bad_hash().
Is CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE enabled this optimization does not happen anymore.

So we need a no-op ubifs_bad_hash() for the CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_AUTHENTICATION=n case.

Thanks,
