Is the YAFFS ECC different from the MTD ECC implementation? I've my
bootloader write a binary generated by mkyaffsimage into the NAND. When
I use the YAFFS ECC , everything is fine. When I turn off YAFFS ECC and
back to MTD ECC, there are loads of complaint about retiring the flash
block.

Why is the YAFFS and MTD ECC disagreeing with each other? Is hardware
ECC going to get a different result from YAFFS and MTD?
