Thanks Kim! After a little bit of "git for dummies", I figured out how
to grab the mpc83xx branch. But before your mail, I was just looking
in WD's git tree for the changes--I didn't know that freescale had its
own git trees for u-boot.

One question about the 8360 version. When I compile it straight up
for the MPC8360EMDS_HOST_66 configuration, I never see any output
at the startup of U-boot. But if I comment out the open firmware
defines in the include/configs/MPC8360EMDS.h config file, then all works.
Why doesn't this work for me straight up on the board it was compiled for?
(This has been true for all U-boot versions I've tried for the 8360).

Thanks,
Steve
