This is just a thought experiment at the moment, but to what extent would we
expect YAFFS to work with UTF-8 filenames? From what I have looked at of the
guts, YAFFS is simply treating filenames as NUL-terminated octet strings, so
it smells like it all ought to Just Work provided the given filenames are
valid UTF-8 sequences?
