I've never paid close attention to YAFFS, and part of the reason for
that is that it's never been considered good enough to be merged into
the kernel tree. If it isn't even being posted for _review_, then it
might as well not exist.
There's a lot more to code review than the cosmetics of 'coding style'.
I would definitely encourage you to get the code into a shape where we
can consider merging it.
