You misunderstood. On NOR flash, O_SYNC does nothing because JFFS2 is
entirely synchronous anyway. On NAND flash, I believe that O_SYNC does
what it is supposed to -- any write will have reached the medium before
the write() system call returns.

This has nothing to do with atomicity of writes with respect to power
failure.
