Gianfar ethernet MPC85xx driver not seen anymore when moving to 2.6.29 kernel

[willy jacobs]

When I moved (config file and device tree) from 2.6.28 (and earlier kernel releases) to 2.6.29-rc2 for some reason
the Gianfar driver is correctly compiled in, but not probed anymore during kernel booting.

I looked into the Changelogs, but did'nt see any change regarding this.

Do I need to change the device tree and/ir config file?

Can you try -rc4.  There are a number of bug fixes that have gone in.   
Also have you made updates to your .dts per:
