You should be able to check out the latest sources from=20
git:// git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git

The current stable kernel release is 2.6.21. Could I use that tree
instead ?

You will probably also need a newer u-boot from here:

git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot-mpc85xx.git

Currently we are using uboot 1.2. Do I have to update the u-boot version
also or I can bypass that for now?
Thanks,
Bizhan
