1. The patch failure is due to the absence of following commit in
net-next-2.6 tree.
	
	commit e72701acbe0b35e52d3f04d442837c06b4e64f1c

	    net: Fix OF platform drivers coldplug/hotplug when compiled
as modules

	    Some OF platform drivers are missing module device tables,
so they won't
	    load automatically on boot. This patch fixes the issue by
adding proper
	    MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macros to the drivers.

2. The git clone DOES NOT show the changes affected by the above patch
3. If we take a log of the affected file(fsl_pq_mdio.c), then it DOES
show the commit/changes 
   (Gitweb:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git;a=histo
ry;f=drivers/net/fsl_pq_mdio.c;h=6ac4648669728421b934d32646ffbb626128387
6;hb=HEAD)
4. If we take the log of the tree, the same commit is NOT visible. 
  (Gitweb:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git;a=log)
5. If we take a Snapshot of the tree, the changes to the file are
present. (in the tarball)

To sum up, the Clone and Tree log DOES NOT show the changes.
The Snapshot and file log DOES show it.

We have tried it on multiple machine/tree clones here.
Is there some problem with the Git tree itself?

No we are using git-am.
We did try this on multiple clones of the net-next-2.6 tree.
