Porting a driver to powerpc using FDT

I am trying to port a DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture) driver for
the Micrel KS8995M managed switch connected to a MPC5200. There is an
SPI interface and MII interface managed by the DSA driver.
I can't understand how probe gets called when the flatted device tree
(FDT) system is used, and how to bind such a driver using the FDT (if
you have to at all).
The DSA driver is initialised via:
// net/dsa/dsa.c
static struct platform_driver dsa_driver = {
.probe = dsa_probe,
.remove = dsa_remove,
.shutdown = dsa_shutdown,
.driver = {
.name = "dsa",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
},
};
static int __init dsa_init_module(void)
{
return platform_driver_register(&dsa_driver);
}
dsa_init_module is being called; but how do I get the system to call
.probe?
