I'm happy with this in principle, and will <ack> formally when the 
community is OK with the code change.  It looks like a positive 
improvement to me, reducing complexity and addressing Timur/Freescale's 
needs.  Anyway, I envision <acking> the patch and having FSL include it 
in whatever MPC8xxx patchset that actually needs the changes.

Thanks and best regards,
