First, make sure your chip is listed in drivers/mtd/chips/jedec_probe.c - if 
it isn't, add the relevant entry into the jedec_table[].

Then, provide a 'map' driver for access to your chip. This could be as 
simple as the 'nora' driver if the flash is connected sensibly, or you 
could configure the 'physmap' driver to work correctly (you also need to 
make it call do_map_probe("jedec_probe", ....) instead of the current 
"cfi_probe").
