Hey Ben, is this work available anywhere?  I am planning on getting
Katmai (new 440SPe eval board) going soon.  It looks like it will take
only trivial changes from Yucca (old 440SPe eval board) so I'm
planning on doing it for arch/ppc first, but I'd be happy to get the
440SPe (esp. PCIe stuff) moved to arch/powerpc as soon as makes sense.

Last I asked him (yesterday) he was cleaning up the patches to post a
first batch. So soon, yes.

Note that there are still things that we might want to change. For
example, I think we really should look into adding a macro mecanism
and/or an include mecanism to dtc so that we can do things like #include
<ibm440gp.dtc> to get the base processor/SoC definition and then
"overlay" some properties on top of it (like emac phy mode etc...)

Cheers,
Ben.
