Can anyone comment on the existence or status of MLC NAND support in
the linux-omap kernel or even the mainline kernel?  And would this
support be built into YAFFS or into an mtd driver where other NAND
(SLC) support resides?

It should be easy to write a driver for MLC flash. It is more difficult
to find file-system which would be able to work on top of it. YAFFS
requires free space in OOB, and MLC usually does not have it.

The closest linux FS which may work on MLC is UBIFS, but there are still
some aspects which needs work, see
