Yes, I expect this is a lack of support in grub-probe for this device.

Is the source code for your driver available, in which case I can probably work out the answer to the following questions by myself? Failing that, I need to know a few things:

 * What are the characteristics of your device naming? Ideally I'd like to have something in the format of Documentation/devices.txt from the kernel, for example:

"""
  8 block SCSI disk devices (0-15)
                  0 = /dev/sda First SCSI disk whole disk
                 16 = /dev/sdb Second SCSI disk whole disk
                 32 = /dev/sdc Third SCSI disk whole disk
                    ...
                240 = /dev/sdp Sixteenth SCSI disk whole disk

                Partitions are handled in the same way as for IDE
                disks (see major number 3) except that the limit on
                partitions is 15.
"""

 * Can the firmware access your device directly by way of the usual UEFI block device methods, or is anything special needed?

It would also be helpful if you would be able to test our current development release. I don't expect it to work right now, so don't spend time testing just yet as you'll no doubt just run into much the same bug, but our standard operating procedure is to fix bugs first in the development release and then backport as necessary, so it would be good to ensure that you would be able to confirm fixes in our development release.
