I'm not either.

Correct.

AMCC wants to ship the new 600MHz boards. This version at least works compared 
to the current version which turns those boards into bricks, since it doesn't 
bootup into the U-Boot prompt. So it definitely is an improvement.

I was hesitating here too, but I think its good enough to include this patch 
now. It definitely is a temporary fix and I hope that AMCC provides 
a "better", final patch that fixes this problem soon. Problem is that nobody 
knows how long this could take.

But in the end it's your call. If you reject this patch as is, then I'll 
revert it in my repository.

Best regards,
Stefan
