I noticed that JFFS2 allows the mounting of MTD devices by their
partition names, rather than their numbers. This is handy sometimes if
you cannot be sure which order your partitions are going to come up in
(for removable devices etc...) or if people are using command line
partitioning.

I've fiddled that code into yaffs, with one minor change - JFFS2 uses
':' to delimit the partition name, that is:
mount -t jffs2 mtd:PartitionName /mnt
However busybox assumes that any mount device containing a ':' is an NFS
mount, and changes the type to nfs even if you explicitly set it. To
avoid this I've used '.' instead, ie:
mount -t yaffs mtd.PartitionName /mnt

I'm not sure if anyone else would find this useful or not, but I've
attached the patch if so.
