i386/127710: My driver PCI probe is not called for mycorrespondingdevice ID and Vendor ID

Yes . my pci_probe is called for all the other bridge interfaces but its
not called for my PCI Card(Device ID and Vendor ID) instead of that Card
bus pci Probe is called while loading my driver as kldload.

I removed cbb driver out of kernel and tried. It works perfectly for me.

I think Class Type of the bridge has to be checked during the probe of
cbb-driver. Please provide me the recent fix of cbb driver so that I can
use it.

Thanks

That's not why your probe isn't called.  Setting a description is
standard behavior for the probe routine.  Are you sure that the device
probe routine is getting called at all for any device?  Have you tried
just leaving cbb out of the kernel?  I recently fixed the original
problem in cbb (the fact it doesn't check the bridge type too), maybe
you could try to pick up that fix as well?
