Despite the SVR being the same (0x803c0011), the latest u-boot is misidentifying the CPU when compared against the original 1.3.0 u-boot. The CPU is a 8544E but u-boot is reporting 8533E.
The wierd part of this is that according to the Chip Errata for the MPC8544E, the SVR *should* be 0x803c01xx - which is different than both the 1.3 and latest git version are reading.
Can any of the Freescale guys explain this discrepancy between the manual, the Freescale BSP u-boot, and the latest u-boot?
The problem has been resolved.
It would appear that two forces were at work. The older u-boot only looked at 16 bits when determining the CPU type and could incorrectly identify the various MPC85xx CPUs. The second issue was that the MPC8544DS hardware was being deployed with incorrect jumper settings. These jumpers relate to the CPU ID. Manufacturing never picked up on this error because of the first problem.
So the latest u-boot is correct.
