The description is here:

@@ -265,6 +266,14 @@ struct rtems_jffs2_flash_control {
     * This operation is optional and the pointer may be @c NULL.
     */
    rtems_jffs2_flash_destroy destroy;
+
+  /**
+   * @brief The device identifier of the flash device.
+   *
+   * It is used in combination with the inode number to uniquely identify a

+   */
+  dev_t device_identifier;
  };

  typedef struct rtems_jffs2_compressor_control rtems_jffs2_compressor_control;

Due to the dev_t type it should be clear what it is.
