Thanks for the swift response.

I also found that both gfar_init (in gianfar.c) and=20

What am I missing?

Don't find any obvious problem.  I suggest you to debug=20

gfar_of_init()=20

in arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_soc.c to see if it works correctly.

The driver is now initialised through of_device. I can't=20
figure out how the probe handler is invoked.

Well, I was looking at an older tree.  If you are using of_device for
TSEC, the most likely cause of this problem is that
of_platform_bus_probe() didn't probe your ethernet nodes.

Refer to the following code in
arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/mpc834x_itx.c.  Make sure it creates
of_platform_device for TSEC.

static struct of_device_id __initdata mpc834x_itx_ids[] =3D {
        { .compatible =3D "fsl,pq2pro-localbus", },
        { .compatible =3D "simple-bus", },
        {},
};

static int __init mpc834x_itx_declare_of_platform_devices(void)
{
        return of_platform_bus_probe(NULL, mpc834x_itx_ids, NULL);
}
machine_device_initcall(mpc834x_itx,
mpc834x_itx_declare_of_platform_devices);
