hmm ... how do I find these?
The real device providing the storage is a 2GB NAND Flash from Hynix.

And sadly both of your patches didn't change anything.

I made two interessting observations:
during boot the initial detection works ok - I can even mount the normal 
partitions without hickup when I stop it before the udev stage.

The irq storm seems to be caused by something udev does during its population 
of the /dev filesystem.

And second the mentioned irq storm never stops during the runtime of the 
device. When I let it boot through it spews what must be millions of the irq 
messages and does so until I shut it down.
