mkfs.jffs is to create a jffs image file (on the host). Typically, you
would then transfer the file (say jffs.image) onto your target machine and
do a `cp jffs.image > /dev/mtd0,1,2...` The steps are explained in
mtd-jffs-Howto.

Basically, mkfs.jffs is just a utility to create a jffs file image. Think
of it as a variant of mkfs command.
