Why one is looked like snooping was working, and the other device
not working?

What is the file got compiler errors? I notice that the
/ev64360_defconfig
Did define CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE.

Somebody said from maillist. The bridge MV64360 seems
having some issue about cache coherent. I don't know if it is really?
