It's very strange even when I use the complex mapping as you given above
the write is still 32bit swapped.  And I tried writing 1, 2 and 4 bytes
using cp.  For block device, write is successful but still swapped.  For
char device, the following error message is given.

# cp u16 /dev/mtd1
MTD_open
MTD_ioctl
Invalid ioctl 402c7413 (MEMGETINFO = 40204d01)
MTD_write
MTD_close
# cp u16 /dev/mtdblock1
mtdblock_open
ok
mtdblock: read on "JFFS" at 0x0, size 0x200
mtdblock: write on "JFFS" at 0x0, size 0x200
mtdblock_release
mtdblock: writing cached data for "JFFS" at 0x0, size 0x40000
ok
