What about 85xx QE support?

=20
Kumar and I talked about it.  85xx support will be added when QE works

on 85xx.

However,
the patch still needs changes.  To allow each CPU family to have its

own QE option,

we'll
need to define something like QUICC_ENGINE_83xx and QUICC_ENGINE_85xx,

and then

have
something like this:
=20
config QUICC_ENGINE
	bool
	default y if QUICC_ENGINE_83xx || QUICC_ENGINE_85xx

I don't think we need these new options.  If there are differences
between the two SOC versions, presumably not too many, we can address
them in device tree.  It's better to leave the QUICC_ENGINE option at
arch/powerpc/Kconfig level, IMHO.
