Can anybody give me a good reference on how exactly kernel implements
mtd drivers?

I want to know more practical issues rather than theoretical ones. I
can't really find answers to my questions easily on the net. All I find
is some basics on the mtd

What I would like to know is

1) Which module in the kernel decides whether to call jedec_probe or
cfi_probe

2)which module exactly calls cfi probe 

3) how exactly is control transferred to an appropraite driver?

4) What if a driver supports a particular chip only partially?

5) Is there a flowchart that will help me understand where and when
kernel makes all this decisions.

6) how do I get a list of all the chips supported in a  given version of
the kernel?
