Hello Rayan,
I have few questions (may be silly) and comments.

I wonder why do you use __devinit here, not __init? AFAIK, __devinit is
used for hotplug-able devices, is this the case for a video card?

So the interface may really be JEDEC and CFI?

map->map.virt is 'void *', so
map->map.virt = window->virt + offset * sizeof(long);
could be used instead and it looks neater. In gcc sizeof(void) is 1 and
is is widely used in the kernel.

Why you commented out pci_module_init() and the related stuff? Why you
do not use this standard mechanism?
