That's kind of what I expect to be happening on my target, but it's not.

I notice that your configuration does not define CONFIG_FIXED_PHY as
either a module or built-in - could that explain both the fact that my
dsa_loop_bdinfo.c does not get compiled when using the default
Makefiles, and that if I force compilation to a module it does not
appear to create the expected lanX@eth0 interfaces?

I have added some printk debug lines to the dsa_loop_init and
dsa_loop_drv_probe functions, and only see the one from the init
function, which makes me suspect that something is stopping the probe
from happening - I assume this should happen when the dsa_loop_bdinfo
module is inserted?
