Subject: [Yaffs] [PATCH/RFC] yaffs2: don't write ECCOther if low on OOB space
Hello folks,

currently yaffs2 can not be used on some 2k page NAND flashes where the controller reserves
a lot of OOB space for ECC, due to PackedTags not fitting into one page's free OOB space,
and on OneNAND, for roughly the same reason.

OTOH, on these types of flashes/controllers the ECC capabilities are strong enough to just
not calculate/save ECC by filesystem (e. g. yaffs). So, the patch inlined below just
suppresses ECCOther reading/writing/calculation in case we anyway don't have space to write
it.
