I'm not sure if that's what Stuart is referring to. YAFFS "binary images" can be read and written without problems with the current code (since years). You need to use the ".jffs2/.i" option for skipping bad blocks. But if you are referring to the YAFFS filesystem support in U-Boot, then the work Wolfgang is referring to is currently available in the mtd-2.6.22.1 branch of the u-boot-nand-flash repository. I have to admit that I'm not sure if the YAFFS support has already been integrated though. Unfortunately this branch still has some problems and I didn't get enough feedback/patches to fix those problems. So we can't merge this stuff into mainline yet.
