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.
