Maybe it would be more conveniant to use the latest nand-code from mtd-cvs,. 
where a lot of speedups were done and the selection of ECC is possible 
through the filesystem driver, as I posted on 9-25-02 on this list. The 
actual JFFS2 code supports this new behaviour and it should be no big deal to 
modify yaffs to use it too. So you can use both on one system.

This would surely increase the chance to get it into the kernel code sometime.
