The mounting of jffs2 is broken due to the changes from the new mount API
because it specifies a "source" operation, but then doesn't actually
process it. But because it specified it, it doesn't return -ENOPARAM and
the caller doesn't process it either and the source gets lost.
Fix this by simply removing the source parameter from jffs2 and letting the
VFS deal with it in the default manner.
To test it, enable CONFIG_MTD_MTDRAM and allow the default size and erase
block size parameters, then try and mount the /dev/mtdblock<N> file that
that creates as jffs2. No need to initialise it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
