Simple; instantiate the needed platform_device or of_platform_device in the board platform code (arch/powerpc/platforms/*). Then the driver has something to bind against. That way the driver's probe() method gets called without having to traverse the entire tree. Cheers, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng. Secret Lab Technologies Ltd.
