Thanks.

Please don't forget the entry for the CHANGELOG file.

Please add the appropriate additions to the CREDITS  and  MAINTAINERS
files, if needed.

I don't like the following parts of your patch:

Are you 100% sure this does not break any existing boards?

Please do not add a board-specific #define  PQ27E_DATAONLY_SIZE  when
we already have a CPM_DATAONLY_SIZE which could be used.


The same happens again in other places, like:

cpu/mpc8260/ether_fcc.c:

	PQ27E_FCC_SPECIAL_BASE vs. CPM_FCC_SPECIAL_BASE



Please clean up and resubmit.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
