[patch] Re: the latest MTD code from CVS has compilation errors

[Henrik Nordstrom]

I have the same problem with 2.4.18. See post a few days ago about 
DOC2000.

A closer look at the problem inticates the problem is not the CVS 
sources but the patchin.sh script used to apply them to the kernel 
tree. It does not apply the new jffs2 sources to the kernel tree, 
crashing the old jffs2 code by replacing mtd headers..

However, applying the new code to stock 2.4.18 does not work either 
due to a missing include/linux/crc32.h (is in fs/jffs2/crc32.h)

Attached is a small patch to the patchin.sh script to have the new 
jffs2 code applied to the kernel tree.

Regards
Henrik
