Hm, true :)

Catalin, can you test the following? 

Btw, I'm unconvinced by the existing error handling -- if
armflash_subdev_probe() fails, it doesn't look like _that_ subdev
actually gets cleaned up in the loop at 'subdev_err:'. So we don't
release the memory region (and neither do we free the newly-kmalloced
name).

In fact, do we still need a separate platform device and driver for ARM
systems? What does it provide that the physmap driver does (and can)
not?
