I am not sure about the exact versions but you propably need to switch
over from devfs to udev. (usually no big deal)

I follow the latest stable and latest-git from kernel.org. I didn't run
into major problems over here for MPC8540, however I am still on the old
ARCH=ppc. ARCH=powerpc compiles fine as well. I just had no time to have
a closer look at the DeviceTree/OpenFirmware/U-Boot stuff.

Is there any brief HowTo migrate from ppc to powerpc including u-boot?

Best greets,
