I don't know, sorry, you are going to have to be a lot more specific.
Do you see the device in /sys/devices/ ?  If so, are you sure your
driver probe function is called?  If not, then work on fixing that.

Do you have a pointer to your driver code anywhere we can review it to
see what you are trying to do?
