Hi all,

The other day someone asked me a question regarding the interface between Yaffs2 
and MTD regarding ECC and bad block handling. I know one has the option to let 
Yaffs do the ECC, or it can be handled by MTD. I also know Yaffs can retire 
blocks and keep track of what blocks are bad. Further I know MTD has a similar 
mechanism(Bad block table). So my question is if one configures MTD to handle 
ECC as well as to keep track of bad blocks(via bad block table), then does Yaffs 
have any feedback(or does Yaffs even care) regarding bad blocks, for instance 
when bad blocks are discovered and what blocks are marked bad? I'm really 
looking from a high level design/architecture point of view. Could someone point 
me in the right direction on this topic?

Thanks in advance for any information.
