[PROBLEM][2.5][AMD76X_PM]: Possible porting problem - Can't register AMD Northbridge?

[Shawn Starr]

Below is some debugging added as well as having the kernel partly -DDEBUG 
enabled:

===============================================

0?
bus_match(): match(): We didn't find a match. Failed
bus_match(): Returns -19 [-ENODEV]
Dec 14 23:20:37 unknown kernel: Driver_attach(): Returns 0

(This repeats a few times in the list then terminates with driver_attach 
returning 0).

However when detecting the Southbridge:

amd76x_pm: Looking for Southbridge...
bus pci: add driver amd76x_pm-sb
kobject amd76x_pm-sb: registering. parent: <NULL>, subsys: drivers
Inside driver_attach()
!bus->patch not true continue on..
!dev->driver keep going...
inside bus_match()
inside pci_bus_match()

[First one doesnt match]
[Second one doesn't match]
[Third one doesn't match]
[Forth one doesn't match]
[Firth one doesn't match]

On the 6th list check:

pci_match_bus(): ids->vendor = 1022
pci_match_bus(): ids->subvendor = ffffffff
pci_match_bus(): ids->class_mask = 0
pci_match_bus(): ids->device = 7443
pci_match_bus(): ids->class = 0
pci_match_bus(): DECISION: ids->vendor 1022 == pci_dev->vendor 1022?
pci_match_bus(): DECISION ids->device 7443 == pci_dev->device 7443?
pci_match_bus(): DECISION ids->subvendor ffffffff == pci_dev->subsystem_vendor 
1043?
pci_match_bus(): DECISION ids->subdevice ffffffff == pci_dev->subsystem_device 
8044?
bus_match(): We matched!

bus_match(): Returns 0
driver_attach():bus_match() returns 1
[ It keeps searching the list after this for other new things]

We OOPs when we try to use pdev_nb->device in a switch because pdev = NULL! 
because the Northbridge was not found.

This of course, hangs insmod :(

Any pointers, Do we need to register the Northbridge and Southbridge and if 
so, why can't we find it?

00:00.0 Class 0600: 1022:700c (rev 11) <---------- Northbridge 
00:01.0 Class 0604: 1022:700d

00:07.3 Class 0680: 1022:7443 (rev 03) <----------- Southbridge

I have them on this MPX A7M266-D machine but its not finding it.
