I have succeeded in using the i2c bus with GPIO expander to access the 
programming pins of my FPGA devices, but the data port uses the localbus.  I 
had initially thought that the uio platform driver would be the ideal approach 
to creating a device which would allow configuration from userland via the 
/dev/uio[0|1] device interface, but apparently the device binding is not being 
accomplished as expected.  

        localbus@ffe124000 {
                compatible = "fsl,p4080-elbc", "fsl,elbc", "simple-bus";
                reg = <0xf 0xfe124000 0 0x1000>;
                interrupts = <25 2 0 0>;
                interrupt-parent = <&mpic>;
                #address-cells = <2>;
                #size-cells = <1>;

                /* Local bus region mappings */
                ranges = <0 0 0xf 0xe8000000 0x08000000         /* CS0: Boot 
flash */
                          1 0 0xf 0xd0000000 0x8000             /* CS1: FPGA0 */
                          2 0 0xf 0xd1000000 0x8000 >;  /* CS2: FPGA1 */

                flash@0,0 {
                  ........
            }; 

                lim: fpga@1,0 {
                        compatible = "uio_pdrv";
                        pin-handle=<&lim_ctrl>;
                }; 

                nitro: fpga@2,0 {
                        compatible = "uio_pdrv";
                        pin-handle=<&fpe0_ctrl &fpe1_ctrl>;
                }; 
        };

I have aliases pointing to the localbus nodes lim and nitro, but it appears 
that the uio_pdrv driver does not bind to the device based upon the compatible 
property of the tree.  I'm hoping to be able to mmap the localbus port memory 
(0xf_d000_0000 and 0xf_d100_0000) respectively when I open /dev/uio[0|1].  Is 
there additional driver registration needed in order to use the uio_pdrv 
driver?  What am I missing??

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Rob
