I guess this for finding the Open Firmware (OF) path of a device. As we don't
have OF, I wonder if MOL works without it? Anyone would like to ask the MOL
developers? :)

Don't know about this one - a 'grep -l get_module_symbol' on the current tree
didn't show anything...

I could imagine that something about get_module_symbol changed between test10
and test11, but even without that the issue with find_path_device remains...

cvs -d[...] co -r mol-branch 2.2

or if you already have a 2.2 tree: (from the top level directory)

cvs upd -r mol-branch
