Yes, we are. Some of our customers are.

Feel free to improve it ...

Guess why it has been added to U-Boot?

Can you be a _bit_ more explicit? What is your test case? What works,
and what does  not  work?  Are  you  on  NOR  or  NAND  flash?  Which
architecture?  How  did  you create the JFFS2 filesystem? How did you
install it? Which version of the Linux kernel is this? Which  version
of MTD code is in your Linux kernel tree?

Best regards,
