Here are some patches for the MPC 8540/8560 ADS boards. The patches are in two .tgz files, part 1 and part 2. This is part 2.
This is not a patch, this is just CRAP.
Why are you messing around with files which have nothing to do with this?
Good question. I had no intention of doing so.
Why are you make garbage out of files like drivers/sl811_usb.c or fs/jffs2/jffs2_1pass.c or include/configs/PM520.h ???
This is a good catch. You are correct in stopping this patch. I will clean this up. My guess is that I had an incorrect basis for my patch creation in our tree. My apologies.
Who gives you the right to place a "Copyright 2004 Freescale Semiconductor" on files like "include/asm-ppc/mmu.h", "include/asm-ppc/processor.h" and so on???
Why do you mess with white space in include/configs/MPC8540ADS.h, include/configs/MPC8560ADS.h, include/pci_ids.h, MAKEALL, Makefile etc.?
Wolfgang, there is a larger effort at work here. In particular, this is an effort to make these two files as similar as possible in order to refactor their common code out into a better abstraction for multiple families of processors, CPUs, cores and boards.
Partially applied, until I gave up.
Please clean up this mess yourself.
I'll look into it.
Feel free to resubmit the missing parts. But please make sure to be a bit more careful next time.
Will do.

I don't care much about which copyright notices you have in files that belong only to boards maintained by you (as long as it's clear that they come under GPL or a compatible license). But "include/asm-ppc/mmu.h" or "include/asm-ppc/processor.h" are definitely NOT copyrighted by Freescale.
Also, removing existing names from files etc. will not be accepted.
Feel free to resubmit the missing parts. But please make sure to be a bit more careful next time.
Will do.
Thanks.
Best regards,
