No. You should get a 'cookie' back which is to be passed to the kernel's 
read[bwl] functions. This 'cookie' may be coincidence be very similar to a 
virtual address. 

I don't think virt_to_phys() is supposed to work for ioremapped areas - 
only for main memory. If you just use map_rom_probe instead of cfi_probe, 
can you read sensible data from the beginning of the chip (i.e. does it 
match what you know is in there)?

What chips are on the board and how are they arranged?
