A properly erased flash device is ready for use by YAFFS; there is no 
separate "format" step. You should be able to mount the device and use 
it immediately after erasing it; I do. My guess would be that there's 
something funny going on in your MTD driver, that it's not matching your 
flash part in some way.

mkyaffs2image is a host-side tool which prepares a filesystem image to 
be programmed into your flash device later. Unless you know this will be 
useful to you, it won't be.
