Not probing devices on PowerPC MPC8247 and kernel 2.6.26

Hi Chris,

probably there's some mismatch between the device (for example some 
information in dts) and the driver. The match function scan for a driver 
for those devices but the values compared don't match the values of the 
drivers.

Regards.
