Actually I am lying terribly about yaffs2 working in a new mtd kernel.
The linux kernel that I am testing yaffs2 in is 2.4.25-vrs2 which uses the older mtd where all is well.
See
http://husaberg.toby-churchill.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/linux-2.4.25/ for details.
It is in bootldr that I am using the new mtd suitably changed for embedded usage.
What I needed to do was override the default autoob policy in the nand chip structure. This meant that it defaulted to my autoplacement policy and not the mtd default for all reads of data+oob together.
Look in husaberg.toby-churchill.co.uk/balloon/development/bootldr35/nand/nandif.c in the setup_nand function where nand->autoob is set to yaffs2_oob. That should fix it for you though it means that all partitions (yaffs2 or not) will be forced to use that policy.
The use of MTD_NANECC_AULTOPL_USR is almost tested but not quite ready for showtime.
Look in yaffs/yaffs_mtdif2.c for the way to test it by changing the comments.
I have been just too busy to do it myself in the kernel as it needs a fair bit of work to port 2.6 to balloon though that is scheduled when balloon3 hardware becomes available (July/Sept?).
