mpc83xx USB support status

[Grant Likely]

Li,

What is the state of mpc83xx support in arch/powerpc?  I saw some of
the patches you posted to the ppc and usb-devel lists, but I want to
make sure I've got the whole set.  Also, can you tell me what the
state of those patches are (ie. which ones will be picked up for
2.6.23?)

I'm working on the mpc8349-mitx-gp board, and I can do the work to get
your changes working on that board.

Thanks,
g.

The USB host/gadget should be working in arch/powerpc with all the
patches I submitted to ppc and usb-devel applied.  AFAIK, all the
patches posted to usb-devel will be picked up for 2.6.23.  I hope the
platform rework code will also be picked up; I see nothing preventing it
from being included.

Good, the USB drivers are intended to be platform independent.  The soc
specific configuration will be done in the rework patch I submitted.
The only thing you need to take care of is board specific setup.  Feel
free to contact me if you have any problem.
