[Yaffs] [Yaffs-archive] mode,uid,gid attributes again

[Szabo Robert]

Hi there!


I'm new on the YAFFS list. I had problems with preserving mode,uid,gid 
attributes on special files.

Browsing the code I figured out that the inode->i_op is not set when 
using special files.
I patched the code and it seems that the problem is now gone.
