Hmm. I instrumented pci_set_of_node and I do see my 2 network devices.

devfn = 00000000
of_node = bfff3f90 /soc/pcie-controller/pcie@1,0/tg3@01,0

devfn = 00000001
of_node = bfff4118 /soc/pcie-controller/pcie@1,0/tg3@01,1

So at least that's happening. I guess the problem is that ultimately 
they are devices on the pci bus as opposed to the platform bus and 
of_find_device_by_node() only looks at the platform bus

dev = bus_find_device(&platform_bus_type, NULL, np, of_dev_node_match);

What I might have to do for now is get the DSA driver code to go looking 
on the pci bus if of_find_device_by_node() fails to find the named node. 
Florian mentioned making the DSA code use the device driver model which 
would help me but I'm kinda stuck with the kernel version I'm using for 
now at least.
