Patch to convert fec to a platform device. I've sent to k...@u.c. Suggest we track the dmesg errors in a separate bug, as they seem to be independent of this.
>From the patch comments: [PATCH] drivers/net/fec: Convert to a platform bus driver BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438687 Currently, the FEC device is placed on the 'virtual' bus, and so has no driver symlink in sysfs. This symlink is required for network manager to handle the device properly, so FEC devices are currently ignored. This change converts the FEC driver to use the platform bus, so we get the proper symlinks set up in sysfs. With this change, NM will bring up the network as expected. We're doing the platform_device_register in the driver itself, rather than in machine-specific code. This is a bit of a hack: the driver will always attempt to initialise a FEC even if one isn't present in the system. However, this is no different from the existing driver.
