    "Are" not needed.

    Maybe you should select MTD_PARTITIONS instead?

    Period at end of statment missing?

    Empty line should be here, not above.

    Hm, what does this lock gain, if the read is atomic anyway?

    Shouldn't it be static?

    Why not:

	from += (unsigned long) map->virt;

like you do in ltq_copy_to()?

    Could be done in initializer, like in ltq_copy_to().

    BTW, you could use memcpy_fromio().

    I think you have this backwards. It should be:

		*to_8++ = *p++;

    BTW, you could use memcpy_toio().

    Cast from 'void *' is automatic -- no need for explicit one.

    Hm, can't you do this in the platform code?

    Hm, could you indent the last line more to the right?

    do_map_probe() already returns that type, why cast to it?

    Cast from 'void *' is automatic -- no need for explicit one.

    Use platform_driver_probe() instead, as the device is not a hotplug one. 
Then ltq_mtd_probe() can become '__init'.
