Charles,
I've pulled a current snapshot from the git tree (ID 388ad45f27ef3288d2f1240a4e94d5849cf8201b) and when I tried to compile it into a 2.6.32 kernel for my OMAP board, compilation fails with:
fs/yaffs2/yaffs_linux_allocator.c: In function 'yaffs_InitialiseRawTnodesAndObjects':
fs/yaffs2/yaffs_linux_allocator.c:106: error: implicit declaration of function 'yaffs_DeviceToContext'
fs/yaffs2/yaffs_linux_allocator.c:106: error: invalid type argument of '->' (have 'int')
Grepping through the yaffs2 code for "yaffs_DeviceToContext", there's no declaration for it. Looking around for other uses of mount_id, I tried replacing yaffs_DeviceToContext with yaffs_DeviceToLC, and the world builds w/o error, but when I try to mount my NAND device (Micron 2KB block), the kernel oopses quite hard:

==>> yaffs bug: fs/yaffs2/yaffs_linux_allocator.c 160
At this point I have to ask:
1) What should I use in yaffs_linux_allocator to replace DeviceToLinuxContext()?
2) If I guessed correctly by using DeviceToLC, then why does the kernel oops?
3) Have you built/tested the current git head on a Linux system?
Thanks in advance!
