Argh... what a mess.

Well, my personal preference is to have the official board name and
the related file names match as closely as possible, probabl;y just
using lowercase letters for the files.
I don't think it's exactly intuitive to have a board named
"mpc832xemds" and the related files use "mpc832x_mds".
That looks awfully broken to me.
At the momnt, the U-Boot code looks OK, so if you do it differently in
Linux, you should fix it there.
Just my $ 0.02 (well, I think I should say $ 0.03 given current
exchange rates ;-).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

In a survey taken several years ago, all incoming freshmen at MIT
were asked if they expected to graduate in the top half of their
class. Ninety-seven percent responded that they did.
