I'm glad to see it :) Thanks!

But my original patch was a bit modified - CONFIG_YAFFS_USE_OLD_MTD is taken 
out. As I understand, yaffs2 does not support old MTD version anymore. So, 
probably .eccbytes should be included all the time (without any #if 
check)...?
Current check for kernel version will not work for those, who have backported 
MTD to 2.4 kernel (as I have done). Of course, I can maintain my own changes, 
but question is - whether it is needed?

Thanks,
Artis
