More details needed... MTD version, versions of the
yaffs_mtd*.c files (see $Id in files, or use 'ident' command).
I presume you have a small page device -- it has the bad-block
marker at the 6th byte (so offset 5) of oob/space on the chip.

What is your MTD nand_oobinfo definition? -- see MTD's 
nand_base.c source file, or perhaps your platform NAND mapping 
code.

Do you know if your build of yaffs_mtd.c is using the
translate_spare2oob() calls?  -- depends on kernel version
seen during Yaffs build.
