Any idea what might be wrong? It isn't probed neither as buildin module nor as external one. String "adm1275_reset_probe start" isn't visible in dmesg. Probing of parent driver "adi,adm1075" finishes succesfully. However parent driver doesn't know anything about its child. My understanding is that it doesn't have to. However I am not so experienced in kernel programming (about 4 months).

My simplistic understanding was that hardware was probed, but drivers were run.
If it's not being probed as you think it should be, the code is steering away; stopping or idling the task before the probe, or making "logical" decisions that avoid that code. That's when yu need to get working with higher debug levels, gdb or strace.
