I'm too working on the mpc52xx (I have nothing to submit though at the
moment, because my port is mainly copy-paste from arch=ppc).
I put my stuff under platforms/mpc52xx. I did this mainly because Nikolas
states his board isn't 'embedded', but mine is. I think this shows there
more a historical difference than a technical difference between 'embedded'
and 'not embedded' boards.
I'm running my board as a normal MULTIPLATFORM board and it works just
fine.
