device tree nodes and platform drivers

Hi all,
I'm trying to write a platform driver for a device node that I have
defined inside of a device tree.
The node looks like this:
my-node0 {
compatible = "my,id";
dcok-gpios = <&gpio1 6 0>;
};
In my kernel module I have something like this:
const static struct of_device_id my_ids [] = {
{ .compatible = "my,id" },
{ /* sentinal */ }
};
struct platform_driver my_drv = {
.driver = {
.name = "my-node",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.of_match_table = my_ids,
};
.probe = my_probe_func,
.remove = my_remove_func,
};
static int __init my_init(void)
{
/* some extra stuff */
return platform_driver_register(&my_drv);
}
module_init(my_init);
And yet... the driver for my probe function is never called! I've
looked in /proc for device tree node, and I can see it there.
Furthermore, just to be sure, I call
of_find_compatbile_node(NULL,NULL,"my,id")
and it returns my device node. I'm tempted to just extract what I need
from it (i.e. those gpio descriptors) in my init function and skip the
platform driver stuff. Can anyone help me understand what I might be
missing?
Thank you,
Max
