Your original e-mail said you were using 2.6.38 ("I have bringup WR linux 2.6.38 on a custom mpc8247 board"). > Can you let me why the probe error of the driver happens. No. There were a lot of fixes and improvements that went into this code since then, including removing hardcoded assumptions about the hardware that are described in the device tree with the current binding. If you don't want the fixes that come with a newer version, you're on your own repeating that work. -Scott
