Your original e-mail said you were using 2.6.38 ("I have bringup WR
linux 2.6.38 on a custom mpc8247 board").

No. There were a lot of fixes and improvements that went into this code
since then, including removing hardcoded assumptions about the hardware
that are described in the device tree with the current binding. If you
don't want the fixes that come with a newer version, you're on your own
repeating that work.
