If the flash is CFI compliant, then a default driver will probably
work. 

When the kernel boots up are you able to see a message saying that it
found your flash? You might have to play around with the kernel
configuration to get it to properly recognize your flash.

Yes, at least this is the way I did it. For example, I used
drivers/mtd/maps/tqm85xx.c as a starting point for my board specific
file. (I am using the DENX kernel).
