How about just getting rid of the unneeded temporary variable and just 
doing:

int yaffs_count_bits(__u8 x)
{
     return yaffs_count_bits_table[x];
}

??

tags->ecc is not touched between here

and this assignment here, so the first 'tags->ecc = 0' assignment is 
pointless and should just go away IMHO.

purely a minor style issue, but I believe the kernel coding style here is 
to put curly braces for both the 'if' and 'else' branches if either 
requires them, so

if (ext_tags->is_deleted) {
        spare.page_status = 0;
} else {
        ...
        ...
}

Indentation could be reduced with no negative effect by doing

if (!yaffs_rd_chunk_nand
         (dev, nand_chunk, data, &spare, &ecc_result, 1))
        return YAFFS_FAIL;
...rest of function...

Why is memset() used directly here, but elsewhere the yaffs_spare_init() 
function is used?
