Dear Stefan Roese,

But would it not be useful to be able to detect any "illegal" settings, for example resulting from accidentyial corruption of the EEPROM data?
I don't understand this. How should the code detect an "illegal" setting? All settings configured in the board specific code are valid.
You define a list of ppc4xx_config_count known configuration settings; the data read from the EEPROM either matches one of these then it is a "known" or "legal" setting, or it does not - in that case the EEPROM contains an "illegal" setting. This should at least trigger a warning message (probably including the hex values as read from the EEPROM).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
