Correct. There is one in the "t1000-denx" branch of our linux-2.6-denx 
repository. But it's not ready for upstream merge yet. I already started 
cleaning up the driver and extracting the GPIO stuff into a 4xx GPIOLIB 
implementation. Hopefully I'll find the time to finish this and push the 4xx 
SPI & GPIOLIB stuff in the next 2-3 weeks.

Best regards,
Stefan
