[U-Boot] linkstation_HGLAN and MPC824x support

[Tom Rini]

Hello,

With a recent change to U-Boot (as part of merging
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/293612/), we need cache support for
MPC824x, for the linkstation_HGLAN board to continue building, as the
network driver is now cache aware.

Alternatively, if there is no interest in maintaining the platform
upstream anymore, we can remove it.  Thanks!

Tom,

Did you hear objection? I think we should remove support for this board. We'd
better do it before next release.

I would say this is "last call" for a patch now, yes.

Tom,

Are you going to remove this platform, or waiting for someone to submit a patch
to do so? Does removing this platform mean totally remove the code, or only
modify boards.cfg to disable the build?

We don't leave dead code behind - removal will nclude all related
board code.

Actually I still vote to remove all MPC82xx code; it's totally dead.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Right.  And I posted a patch on the 20th to remove the board.

York, does that work for you as well?  PowerPC doesn't formally have the
same feeder structure that ARM has but I'd still like a quick "yes,
nothing there looks like it's about to come back elsewhere".  Thanks!

OK, Wolfgang, please make a patch and then pull request for me.  Thanks!
