Add U-Boot support to AMCC PPC405 eval boards (bubinga, sycamore and
walnut) and cleanup PPC440 eval boards (bamboo, ebony, luan and ocotea)
to better support U-Boot as bootloader.
In general, 44x pieces look OK, but 40x aren't. Notice, that we don't
have any #ifdef CONFIG_UBOOT in 44x sources. Let's not add them for
40x, try to replicate the same boot-wrapper approach as Matt used for
44x.
OK. I'll split the patch in two (44x and 40x stuff) so we can get the 44x
pieces on the way.
Just to be sure: The 44x boot-wrapper approach you mention is
"boot/simple/pibs.c"?
Yes, there's both boot/simple/pibs.c and boot/simple/openbios.c that
were created so we could have the default firmware and u-boot use the
same kernel build.

Yes, that's what I thought. But Eugene mentioned, that he boots vmlinux
without any boot-wrapper on the OpenBIOS targets (except Ebony probably). You
would loose this possibility, if I add this wrapper and switch from OpenBIOS
to U-Boot bd_info struct in the kernel.
Did I miss something here? How should I proceed?
Best regards,
Stefan

Bad phrasing on my part. What I meant was "U-Boot is different from
OpenBIOS targets already, as with U-Boot we don't use any boot-wrapper
like with OpenBIOS".
Sorry for confusion :).
