I have a pile of changes to u-boot that make yaffs work w/mtdparts (I.e. "ymount /<partition>" looks through mtdparts to find start/end blocks, etc) that works in u-boot-2011.06), and want to refresh that for a current u-boot, but it's gonna take time to get it into acceptable shape for submission.
If anyone wants the raw changes to get a head start I'm happy to pass them along...
