These 2 patches add support for the XPedite5200 SBC - a MPC8548-based PMC card made by Extreme Engineering Solutions.
Just out of curiousity: who comes up wityh such board names? I would bet a few beer that a board with the name "XPedite5200" uses a MPC5200 processor, but no, it's a MPC8548 instead.
A marketing guy and a voodoo priestess:) There actually is a complicated bitmasked convention that involves form factor, CPU type, board "generation", etc but you'd need a calculator to figure it out.
This is a really confusing name, isn't it? [I guess you do this intentionally to shock competitors about the performance you get out of a 5200, right?]
Yes, agreed. I'll mention the MPC5200 angle to our marketing guys:)
