[Yaffs] Current Linux YAFFS effort

[Charles Manning]

Hi YAFFSers

There has been a huge increase in the pace of the YAFFS list in the last two 
weeks or so.

Marty Fouts and Luc van Oostenryck (thanx guys) have signed up to help move 
YAFFS2 along in the next phases of achieving:
* Up to date patch state.
* A lot more code cleanliness etc. We will be dropping as much dead code as 
possible and throwing out stuff that is no longer required (eg. throwing out 
yaffsram and using mtd's nandsim instead).
* Getting YAFFS from a black magic situation where it is now where various mtd 
tweaks and config raindances are required, to a "just plug it in and it 
works".
* Getting YAFFS into the Linux kernel.
* As previously stated, the focus is on YAFFS2 codebase.

Thanx also to all who have submitted patches recently. I have applied most of 
the recent patches. Luc is also ploughing through the last 3 years of yaffs 
list to check for anything dropped etc.

For any patches, please try to do these against latest CVS so that the 
patching is cleaner. Also, please make sure that they are labelled in some 
way to tell yaffs from yaffs2.

Charles
