To build YAFFS in the Linux kernel tree you need to run the patch-ker.sh
script from the yaffs source directory, giving your choice as to whether
you wish to copy (c) or link (l) the code and the path to your kernel
sources and whether you want to use the single-version or multi-version
code. e.g:

./patch-ker.sh c m /usr/src/linux

This will copy the yaffs files into /usr/src/linux/fs/yaffs2 and modify the Kconfig
and Makefiles in the fs directory.

./patch-ker.sh l m /usr/src/linux

This does the same as the above but makes symbolic links instead. This can
be handy if you are developing yaffs and want to interact with the yaffs git
repository, make patches, or whatever.

The single-version code is intended to track the current latest Linux kernel
and does not attempt to support older versions of the kernel.

The multi-version code supports more versions of the Linux kernel. It also
supports some optional features that might be excluded from the
single-version code.

After you've run the script, go back to your normal kernel making procedure
and configure the yaffs settings you want.
