Do you mean you want to completely erase a YAFFS2 filesystem?
No YAFFS tool is necessary - just use the standard NAND tools to erase 
the blocks of the partition. (Erased blocks are automatically ready for 
reuse by YAFFS.) The flash_erase tool, in the mtd-utils package, might 
be what you're looking for.
