What do you mean by this? I don't follow. What's "command remove
driver"?


>4.use space command rescan device, driver probe and export flash port.

Again, what's "command rescan device" ?

Could you perhaps rather use command line examples?

No! Don't do this. I don't care about your firmware. We enforce info_get
and flash component parity, obey it. Either provide the version info for
all components you want to flash with proper versions, or don't
implement the flash.
