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

+The single-version code is intended to track the current latest Linux 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.
