Hm... is this correct? The board I have here actually seems to use a
8541E ?
The board has two population options; the 8541E and 8555E are pin
compatible.  The one I am working on right now has the 8555.
What would be the best way to achieve compatibility?  Should the
stxssa be split into two boards?  Or is there a better facility to
accommodate this? (#if 0 ... #else ... #endif block?)  Perhaps another
board does this that I could use as an example?
If needed we could add this a separate Makefile targets; but if the
same U-Boot image really runs on both systems (displaying the correct
CPU id?), then we don't need this.  It's OK to set this to 8555, then.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Do you know the one -- "All I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer
her by ..." You could feel the wind at your back, about you  ...  the
sounds of the sea beneath you. And even if you take away the wind and
the  water,  it's  still the same. The ship is yours ... you can feel
her ... and the stars are still there.
