I had a similar problem with a PROM programmer I built, and tackled
it with the fxload that is now part of the hotplug CVS repository.
Basically, I wrote a little script, called by a user map, that uses
fxload to set the mode of the device to 0666 and create a link to
the /proc/ device in /var/run so that an application can just poll
for gflash.lnk.

I also added REMOVER script support to remove the link when the
device is disconnected.
