I have done exactlythat, changing the mapping to the correct place (very
minor change). However, although the driver is being registered (printk
confirms this), the probe function is never called to set up the flash. Does
anyone know why that may be the case? Is there something I haven't done in
the kernel set up? Anyone know the reasons why the probe callback may not be
called, even though a driver has been registered?
