This doesn't appear to be defined anywhere and is not in Kconfig. Is
this just a wrapper for support on other operating systems or does it
can it be used on Linux for debugging? In the former case it should
probably removed and in the latter it should probably have a comment
explaining why you would want to define it.

Should just use inline.

Nitpick: You should have a blank line between variable declarations and
start of code.

This is possibly more concise as a for loop. Also moving the definitions
all to the top of the file and combining same types definitions on one
line reduces this function to:

int yaffs_count_chunk_bits(struct yaffs_dev *dev, int blk)
{
	u8 x, *blk_bits = yaffs_block_bits(dev, blk);
	int i, n = 0;

	for (i = 0; i < dev->chunk_bit_stride; i++, blk_bits++)
		for (x = *blk_bits; x; x >>= 1)
			if (x & 1)
				n++;
	
	return n;
}
