First of all, you have a lot of "white space" changes.  These
clutter the patches and make it difficult to find the real
changes.  You should try to be more careful about that.

The second thing is that the CDL for CYGPKG_FS_JFFS2_COMPRESS should
define JFFS2_COMPRESS so it can be used like this:
  #if defined(JFFS2_COMPRESS)
This is the more common way that configuration is used in this package.

You should also send your proposal, first as just a query/suggestion,
to the actual JFFS2 maintainters at:
   dwmw2@infradead.org                // David Woodhouse 
   linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org      // JFFS2 & MTD mailing list
