The tablegen internals will have generated patterns for both ways around because add is commutative and then removed the one with the immediate on the left to because it knows that DAGISel ensures the immediate is on the right.

Ok, in that case it's being selected but isn't printing correctly. Could you copy output line for that instruction here? It's sounding like the operand list in your MCInst doesn't agree with the tablegen definition.
