Make sure the .name field of your struct device_driver exactly matches 
the .name field of your struct device that you (hopefully) registered in 
your board file (since you're using mainstone-flash as an example see 
arch/arm/mach-pxa/mainstone.c for the board device side of it).

If you think that's setup right then debug what's going on in 
drivers/base/platform.c: platform_match().
