No there is nothing you need to call before alt_flash_open_dev.

The fact that it returns 0 means either you've got the name wrong, or there is no flash of that name in your system. The easy way to check this is to look in your system.h file for the name you're passing to alt_flash_open_dev, if it's not there then you have one of the two problems I've described, if it is then we have a more interesting problem.
