Thanks. That's good. But unfortunately you had to gzip it because
of the size limitation. This would not have been necessary if you
had split your patch up into 2 or 3 mails. I would recommend something
like:

[PATCH 1/3]: ppc4xx: Add Netstal common board directory
[PATCH 2/3]: ppc4xx: Add Netstal HCU4 board support
[PATCH 3/3]: ppc4xx: Add Netstal HCU4 board config file

In-line patches make my reviewing easier. Thanks.

Please add a little more descriptive commit message: Like which CPU
is used.

I'm still using cogito, so I can't really comment on the core git
usage.

Please clean up the issues Wolfgang addressed and resubmit. Thanks.

Best regards,
