Ahh, now it makes sense to me.

In case of an unknown device, error = ISA_PNP_PROBE(...) set error to
a value larger than 0. In case of a successfull match error is set to
0.

IMHO the correct probe should be:

sbc_probe(device_t dev)
{
        int error;

        /* Check pnp ids */
        error = ISA_PNP_PROBE(device_get_parent(dev), dev, sbc_ids);
        if (error >= 0)
                return error;
        else
                return -100;
} 

Is it possible that error gets a value below 0 ? In that case the
probe should arrange for this case.

Any comments ?
