Are you sure your probe() function is called? After a successfull
uio_register_device() there is both a /dev/uioX and a directory
/sys/class/uio/uioX/.

uio_pdrv needs platform data set up somewhere, did you do that?
See docs in Documentation/DocBook/ for more details.

Are you sure you can have only one instance of this driver?

No space between * and variable name. There are more cases below.
Please run your patch through checkpatch.pl and fix the issues.

These declarations are not neeeded...

...if you move this struct to the end of the file.

	info should be a local variable. If you probe the driver twice
	you'll overwrite the previous value of info and cause a memory leak.

please use dev_info instead of printk

dev_err please.

dev_err and correct indentation, please.

Please check the return value of both *_register calls.

If "CAN" means "Controller Area Network" it should probably be a
socketcan driver instead of UIO...
