I have been looking at the OOB data format for SSFDC and it seems I will have 
to create and process my own OOB data as I can not see how the NAND/MTD layer 
will work with this. 

When we started this project there seemed to be a fixed NAND OOB format. Now 
the NAND OOB format is selectable. I have noticed in a couple of kernel 
distributions that the JFFS2 code does not seem to be aware of this and just 
calls pain mtd->read. I guess this would mean no ecc for JFFS2 on NAND unless 
it was done automatically by the hardware. This was the case for latest 
stable kernel, 2.4.22 downloaded from kernel.org today. 

Is this really the case ?

Cheers

Simon.
