The answer can be found easily by searching for calls to do_map_probe in 
the kernel/drivers/mtd subdirectories.  For example in physmap.c:

	static const char *rom_probe_types[] = {
		"cfi_probe", "jedec_probe", "map_rom", NULL
	};
	const char **type = rom_probe_types;

	for(; !mymtd && *type; type++) {
                 mymtd = do_map_probe(*type, &physmap_map);
         }

So you can ee it is called with names like "cfi_probe" etc.  These 
functions are defined drivers/mtd/chips directory.  So take a look at 
the files in that directory to discover the names you seek.
