Hi Wolfgang,

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.
We agree on this. But I would rather wait for a real fix for mainline. In the meantime, you could keep this workaround in a separate branch of your ppc4xx repository.
This could be an option. I'll talk with AMCC about this.
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.
I hope AMCC can still make it for the next release - we still have nearly 3 weeks plus some time for final testing.
But in the end it's your call. If you reject this patch as is, then I'll revert it in my repository.
Please revert it in the master branch. Thanks.
Done.
Best regards, Stefan
