If you check yaffs_guts_initialise, you may find that the tnode_width is
not always 16. It depends on how many trunks are there in a device (value
of x below). In case of a larger flash, a wider tree node (larger
tnode_size) will be allocated which allows you to address more than 2^16
pages.
If wide node is not enabled, the chunks are grouped. When you traverse the
tnode tree, the 16bit chunk id you get is actually the group address. e.g.
when you get chunk 0x5678, it is actually a group started at 0x567800, if
chunk_grp_bits = 8. Again, you will be able to locate more than 2^16 pages.
Please feel free to correct me if anything misunderstood, Charles.
