I checked my .config file and found following:
  - CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP was "CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP =y". I uncheked this option.
  - CONFIG_MTD_CFI=y
  - CONFIG_MTD_JEDEC=y
The rest of the options were as in your file.
I recompiled a kernel. During the boot up procces there were no messages
about MTD or CFI. After booting up in
file /proc/mtd was a record:
    dev:       size      erasesize      name

I hoped to see more informations in this file.

What should I do next?
May be I must reset some jumpers on CDP boards?

Thanks.
