Please apply for 2.6.20.  This is documentation only, but I don't want
to give people false assumptions about the stability of the 5200 device
tree bindings

Good idea.

Thanks.  :)

But could you please rephrase in a way that doesn't suggest
the *kernel* defines what the device bindings are?  They are
only documented in the kernel tree right now, sure, but that's
not the same thing ;-)

Gah!  Good point.  I do *not* what to go down the "this is for Linux
only" path.  In fact, perhaps I should start looking for a better
place to host this stuff.   Maybe freescale or power.org?
