CFI flash support for AMD chips

Hello,

I am trying to use the CFI flash support for AMD chips. I selected the
CFI support in kernel configuration and defined the flash memory map on
my board ( CFI Flash device in Physical memory map). I see that CFI is
able to find the flash devices on my board correctly. Now, do I need to
create a /dev/flash device in the dev directory? What Major, Minor
numbers do I use? How do I actually use this driver???

Thank you,
Navin.

ls -l /dev/mtd*
crw-r--r--   1 root     root      90,   0 Jun 11  2001 /dev/mtd0
crw-r--r--   1 root     root      90,   2 Jun 11  2001 /dev/mtd1
crw-r--r--   1 root     root      90,  20 Jun 11  2001 /dev/mtd10

Look for the scripts and other utils for more info from the mtd sources.
