OK, we can fix that. Just to confirm, can you show me the output of the
following two commands on that system:
ls -l "/proc/device-tree$(cat /proc/device-tree/aliases/mac-io)/bmac"
find "/proc/device-tree$(cat /proc/device-tree/aliases/mac-io)" -type f -name compatible | xargs grep bmac
If the second command gives you a filename, I'd also like to see what's
in the device_type file in the same directory.
Thanks,
