Hi All, I was as beginner in linux device driver development, and recently I was working on a device driver for espi protocol and was stuck with a problem.
I have an mtd device driver through which one could access the NOR flash connected to the other end of espi bus. The driver seems to have probed successfully , I see an entry for my mtd device in /proc/mtd but , I dont see an entry for my mtd device in the /sys/class/mtd. Here are few logs of interest : root@mybox:~# cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 04000000 00001000 "aspeed-espi-flash” <<<<<—— This is my mtd device mtd1: 04000000 00010000 "bmc" mtd2: 000e0000 00010000 "u-boot" mtd3: 00020000 00010000 "u-boot-env" mtd4: 00900000 00010000 "kernel" mtd5: 02000000 00010000 "rofs" mtd6: 01600000 00010000 "rwfs" mtd7: 04000000 00010000 "alt-bmc" mtd8: 000e0000 00010000 "alt-u-boot" mtd9: 00020000 00010000 "alt-u-boot-env" mtd10: 00900000 00010000 "alt-kernel" mtd11: 02000000 00010000 "alt-rofs" mtd12: 01600000 00010000 "alt-rwfs” root@mybox:/sys/class/mtd# ls mtd1 mtd10ro mtd11ro mtd12ro mtd2 mtd3 mtd4 mtd5 mtd6 mtd7 mtd8 mtd9 mtd10 mtd11 mtd12 mtd1ro mtd2ro mtd3ro mtd4ro mtd5ro mtd6ro mtd7ro mtd8ro mtd9ro I was expecting mtd0 to be present in the /sys/class/mtd, but its not there.

Any hints/help would be appreciated. Thanks, Manoj
