No, you need something like that:

[...]
static struct memory_platform_data ram_pdata = {
	.name		= "ram0",
	.flags		= DEVFS_RDWR,
};

struct device_d mini_sdram_dev = {
	.id		= -1,
	.name		= "mem",
	.map_base	= CS6_BASE,
	.size		= 64 * 1024 * 1024,
	.platform_data	= &ram_pdata,
};

[...]

static int mini2440_devices_init(void)
{
[...]
	register_device(&mini2440_sdram_dev);
[...]
	armlinux_add_dram(&mini2440_sdram_dev);
[...]
}

jbe
