SPI Driver for ppc8xx

Hi,

Is the driver for SPI in mpc8xx availbale online. If yes where can i get it. I read that the  kernel needs to be patched with the microcode before using the SPI drivers if available.And the option is also availbale in the menuconfig. What happens when it is patched?

Thanks
Sanjeev
