Why are you asking this in a powerpc list?

You need to register a struct platform_device in your platform code,
E.G. something like:

static struct resource smc911x_resources[] = {
        [0] = {
                .start  = 0x8e000000,
                .end    = 0x8e0000ff,
                .flags  = IORESOURCE_MEM,
        },
        [1] = {
                .start  = 4,
                .end    = 4,
                .flags  = IORESOURCE_IRQ,
        },
};

static struct platform_device thinlite_eth = {
        .name                   = "smc911x",
        .id                     = 0,
        .num_resources          = ARRAY_SIZE(smc911x_resources),
        .resource               = smc911x_resources,
};

And then do a platform_add_devices with it.
