Just some cosmetic notes ...

This just inserts whitespace.

The accent on the E might cause problems, but I'm not sure.

I would have used an inline function. Also, aren't there functions to use IOs 
already? What's the reason here?

I'd have used

  static const char* module_id = "excite_nandflash";

except if you need the sizeof it to capture the length.

Here, too, is no need for a local buffer, just use a pointer.

"... when it finds a device our driver can handle."

Otherwise I'd say it looks very clean, better than quite some other stuff I 
have seen.
