Hi All,
Sorry for asking this question again, I am still not clear on some  
of the issues.
Background:
We have developed a custom board based on Freescale reference  
board: MPC8555_CDS with MPC8541E processor running Linux 2.6.11 and  
uboot 1.1.2 version.

I would like to update the Linux kernel to the latest available  
kernel 2.6.21.
Here are my questions:
1- Should I use ARCH=ppc or ARCH=powerpc to build the kernel?

Move to ARCH=powerpc.

2- I have seen similar filenames under arch/ppc and arch/powerpc,  
which one applies to MPC8541E?

There is support for MPC8541e in both arch/ppc & arch/powerpc.

Why?  Shouldn't the arch/ppc support be killed if it's in arch/powerpc?
