Your problem clearly points to the unregistered platform device (which should be added to the identification code that maps system to the platform device list). In short, bsp code does name matching of the supported boards, and ties it to the enum of platform devices aught to be registered for this board. It registers nothing by default, and since fs_enet fail to found anything suitable on platform bus, not network devices created.

Is there a howto that explains in simple terms (i.e. not "do like board 
X but I'm not going to tell which bits of the code are crap" but an 
actual interface spec) on how to create this (as far as I can see 
totally undocumented) platform device.

BTW: the code is NOT the documentation - that is the 'how' not the 'why'!
