The above code returns 4 each time it is called - three times.

Okay, lots of printf's later. :-)

In put_bfe_attach() the second 'for' loop which starts with the comment
"Probe and attach our children." - puc.c line 352 - the call to
device_probe_and_attach passes for the first two ports, but fails for
the second two with an error code of 6.  Does that make any sense to
you?
