The option names CONFIG_YAFFS_* and CONFIG_YAFFS2_* are messed up a bit.

One more thing to look at is yaffs' vs. MTD's write verification.
IMHO, there is no reason to use both and the MTD does it better.
The YAFFS_DISABLE_WRITE_VERIFY could be default for linux.
Unfortunately, it does remove the yaffs_VerifyCompare() only,
while the yaffs_ReadChunkFromNAND() is still waste time.
I've attached a simple patch, but I'm in doubts about call to
yaffs_ReadChunkFromNAND() in the yaffs_DeleteChunk()
(yaffs_guts.c line 3238): it breaks compilation with MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE...
