Summary: enabling bfin_mac and bfin_nand on bf526-ezbrd leads to NULL pointer crash

Details:

looks like the error unwinding in bfin_mac_probe() isnt 100% ...

the crash can be seen here:

http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/forummessage/84997/7444/bf526-ezbrd_boot_crash_dump.txt

ignore the first peripheral traceback and look at:

bfin_mii_bus: probe of bfin_mii_bus.0 failed with error -16

NULL pointer access

Kernel OOPS in progress

Deferred Exception context

Follow-ups

Fixed. Platform driver probe function returns 0 if fails.

I think this breaks stuff. (at least on the 537-stamp).
