Any reason for not supporting yaffs2? Is it impossible to do that?

I'm also quite shocked to learn that the 2.6.37 AM1808 kernel doesn't have YAFFS2 support but the TI rowboat kernel for the AM1808 does.

Why is this?

Guess I'll have to look into pulling that in from rowboat.

Other ARM926 kernels have had support for YAFFS2 for many years ... I'm wondering why in the world it was left out of the main AM1808 kernel.

Due to nowadays NAND flash technology needs more bits on ECC that the NAND controller does not support, we have give up NAND flash as the file system storage.
