Hi everybody,

I'm trying to take the big jump and move my (mostly) stable board support from 
arch/ppc to arch/powerpc. I'm still at a very early stage, but here are 
already a few questions.

arch/ppc defines some 8260 generic handlers in syslib/mpc8260_setup.c for 
operations such as halt, reset, show_cpuinfo, ... The MPC82xx ADS in 
arch/powerpc/platforms/82xx redefines those handles as board-specific 
functions. Should they be made generic to all 82xx boards, or should I copy 
them to my board-specific file ? If the code should be shared by all 82xx 
boards, I'll probably end up copying most of the 
arch/ppc/syslib/mpc8260_setup.c code to 
arch/powerpc/platforms/82xx/mpc82xx.c.

Best regards,

Laurent Pinchart
