Well, I'm not sure what's going on with the code.  I *think* what's happening is that the first call of_platform_bus_probe() is scanning most, but not all, of the tree, and it's somehow reserving all of those nodes.  Then we call of_platform_bus_probe() again, but it never finds the DMA nodes.  of_platform_bus_probe() never actually calls of_platform_bus_create() this time around.  Perhaps the recursive nature of of_platform_bus_create() is part of the problem.

The only fix I can think of is to move "fsl,eloplus-dma" into mpc85xx_common_ids[].  I'll post a patch that does that, and we can discuss it.
