It is all based on Charles git
tree(http://github.com/cdhmanning/linux-yaffs-integration/). Everything
is compile tested and it builds.

This only the inital support and I will be sending more cleanup patches.

Greg can you add the patch set into your staging-next tree.
Also, It doesn't affect anything other than itself.

Thanks,

Tracey Dent

I am confused.

Are you and Charles Manning working together on this?

Did you write all this code or did Charles?  If it was Charles, why are
there no From: and Signed-off-by headers for him?

Thanks in advance for enlightening us as to what is going on here,
David Daney

We are not working together on this, but I do appreciate the effort in helping
bring to a head what people like/dislike.

I am trying to keep the kernel yaffs consistent with the yaffs.net yaffs so
that it is easier to add changes from yaffs.net.


Great.  Thanks for clearing things up.

I will offer my unsolicited opinion:

Charles has obviously expended great effort on yaffs2. He has a git repository hosting the code, and has expressed a desire to get the code fit for merging. For Tracey Dent to come along and hijack the entire effort, would anger me if I were in Charles' place.

Having used yaffs2 in the past, I would like to see the code in the kernel. Having it come via Charles would seem to make sense.
