Thanks, and thanks for your work on U-Boot improvements in general over
the last few years!  I've been out of the development loop, but it's
neat to see the improvements you've been shepherding.

I definitely have interest, but am iffy on the time:)  From what I
understand PowerPC has been pretty tardy on moving to the driver model
/ device tree, and no PowerPC board uses the device tree control at
this point.  To make sure I understand the end goal, you're asking
about defining CONFIG_OF_CONTROL for the XPedite boards?  This would
primarily entail getting CONFIG_OF_CONTROL working, at which point the
driver model should "just work"?  Let me know if I'm missing the high
level picture.

Peter
