YAFFS is used on many MLC-based systems.

For YAFFS2, and MLC, the driver is in charge of sorting out the ECC. That is
not done inside yaffs. The rationale for doing it this way is that there are
so many different ECC schemes that it is better to push those out of yaffs.

There are quite a few issues to address with MLC and YAFFS does quite a few
things to be MLC friendly.
