Kylo,

All active development for PPC (including the MPCE8555E) is being done=20=

in 2.6 only at this point.  I would recommend using 2.6.11 as a=20
starting point.  Any code to support new features of the MPC8555E will=20=

be developed for 2.6 at this point.

The 2.6.11 tree has support for both the MPC8560 ADS board=20
(mpc8560_ads_defconfig) and the MPC8555 CDS board=20
(mpc8555_cds_defconfig).  Those should be good starting points for any=20=

work you are doing.
