We have proper GPL'd support for this too. For the DiskOnChip 2000 and
Millennium it's fine. For the DiskOnChip Millennium Plus (and also the
larger, new DiskOnChip 2000 which uses a newer TFFS), we still have
problems with the bad block management, because it's not implemented.

The bad block management is unimplemented. Do not use JFFS2 on
DiskOnChip until someone's spent a couple of weeks implementing it.
