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
