I have been off doing other stuff so I haven't done a resync of the tree
since June.

First thing I ran into was a compile problem with the IBM OCP ethernet driver.
Have things really not even compiled for the 405GP since Aug 22? This little
patch should fix that problem.

Next I ran into problems with the UART init. Looking at arch/ppc/kernel/ocp_uart.c
I was absolutely amazed. Why would you call early_serial_init with values from
rs_table when early_serial_init puts the values right back into rs_table?

When I had John post the patch to add the call to early_s..., it was to
get the base baud rate dynamically from the clock speed, so the value
didn't need to be compiled in. As it is now the code in early_uart_init
is completely pointless and just wastes space.
