flash driver

[liran raz]

hi,
I'm trying to setup the kernel's (linux-2.6.24) flash driver.
Our flash is combined of 2 chips of S29GLN (spanion)
2 X 16 bits data chips connected to 32 bits data bus.
This flash is compatible with the AMD CFI.
I've configured the kernel to:
1. Detect flash chips by common flash interface (CFI) probe.
2. Support for AMD/Fujitsu flash chips
(The flash starts at absolute address 0xfc000000
& size is 0x4000000)
When the kernel starts I see the messages attached below,
which I think indicate that something might be wrong with
the detection of the flsah.
1. Is this correct ? - something is wrong with the flash detection?
2. Which device I need to use in order to read/write to
the flash? (I don't see any /flash device under /dev/ only:
/dev/mtd0 .. /dev/mtd3 & /dev/mtdblock0 .. /dev/mtdblock3)

Debug messages (DEBUG_CFI is defined):
physmap platform flash device: 04000000 at fc000000

physmap-flash.0: Found 2 x16 devices at 0x0 in 32-bit bank

physmap-flash.0: CFI does not contain boot bank location. Assuming top.
number of CFI chips: 1
cfi_cmdset_0002: Disabling erase-suspend-program due to code brokenness.
of-flash: probe of fc000000.flash failed with error -16

Thanks,
Liran.
