It's a problem for boards which read from JFFS2 in U-Boot, yes. So in the case 
of the kernel / etc being read from a raw location (or ubi or what-have-you), 
if FS_JFFS2 (or CMD_JFFS2, same list of platforms) is disabled the problem goes 
away. And if we're down to just a few lightly used platforms, we can just drop 
JFFS2 support. Thanks!
