I'm not sure if that's what Stuart is referring to. YAFFS "binary images" can 
be read and written without problems with the current code (since years). You 
need to use the ".jffs2/.i" option for skipping bad blocks.

But if you are referring to the YAFFS filesystem support in U-Boot, then the 
work Wolfgang is referring to is currently available in the mtd-2.6.22.1 
branch of the u-boot-nand-flash repository. I have to admit that I'm not sure 
if the YAFFS support has already been integrated though. Unfortunately this 
branch still has some problems and I didn't get enough feedback/patches to 
fix those problems. So we can't merge this stuff into mainline yet.

Best regards,
Stefan
