I have an MPC8247 based board. I can get the SMC1 console working, but the
other SCCx serial ports and the FCC1 ethernet doesn't work.
It appears that a part of the problem is that the probe methods are not
called. The "match" table stuff all looks fine and the serial ports and
ethernet are defined in the .dts file. The module init function is called,
but the probe methods are not reached. It seems driver_register gets
called, so why doesn't something call probe?
Is there likely to be some problem with the bus setup?
Are you calling of_platform_bus_probe() from your platform code, and do the
soc and cpm nodes match the bus list (I recommend using compatible =
"simple-bus")?

Hi Scott,
I added the simple-bus to the soc and cpm nodes and it started working
just before your email arrived, but it's good to know I did the right
thing.
Thanks for all your help, I've now got my board working very happily with
Linux 2.6.26 and arch=powerpc. In the end it was pretty much all in the
dts file, but I don't think I'd have got there without your hints.
Cheers,
Chris.
