Hi Arnd,

I forgot to mention that so far I have tested this CPC925 driver on the
Maple platform, I have no G5 Mac to test with.
CPC925 is specific to the PowerPC 970 family of processors, but I don't
think Maple is the only platform that ever use PowerPC 970
processors(that is why this driver should depend on PP64, rather than
PPC_MAPLE).

Thanks,

Harry
