For the MPC8349E-mITX, Freescale's BSP ships with a closed-source binary firmware for the 5-port Ethernet switch. It would be great if the denx.de version of U-Boot could automatically add support for this binary if it existed in the development tree. The idea would be that u-boot.bin would include this binary. -- Timur Tabi Linux Kernel Developer @ Freescale
