Dear Wolfgang,

I am completely puzzled now.  It looks like your stable, but old 
linux-2.4 tree has a much better selection of 8xx drivers compared to 
the linuxppc_2_4_devel. Why is that? What do you recommend for a new 
MPC852T-based development? Can the drivers be dropped into the newer 
tree or more serious backporting effort is needed?

Thanks,
Vladimir
