The FMan MAC driver allocates a platform device for the Ethernet driver to probe on. Setting pdev->dev.of_node with the MAC node triggers the MAC driver probing of the new platform device. While this fails quickly and does not affect the functionality of the drivers, it is incorrect and must be removed. This was added to address a report that DSA code using of_find_net_device_by_node() is unable to use the DPAA interfaces.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
