It's just a nodev thingie I guess...
We can either make yaffs nodev or force it to depend on MTD_BLOCK.
I personally don't see any sense in the latter as it's quite
artificial. It's just mount routine that needs a block device or
"nodev" to open, yaffs itself does NOT interact with MTD block layer,
as well as JFFS2.
The former option is a bit tricky but makes sense. However, I don't
see a particular need to change anything here, other than for symmetry
reasons :)
