Please note that jffs2 is in "odd fixes only" maintenance mode.
Therefore patches like this cannot be processed.

On my never ending review queue are some other jffs2 patches which
seem to address
real problems. These go first.

I see that many patches come form Huawai, maybe one of you can help
maintaining jffs2?
Reviews, tests, etc.. are very welcome!
