Why are you also moving mpc82xx_ads_show_cpuinfo() to the board file?
It's not really ADS-specific; it should just be renamed.
For the MPC82xx ADS boards, mpc82xx_ads_show_cpuinfo() prints

Vendor		: Freescale Semiconductor
Machine		: PQ2 ADS PowerPC

The vendor string is hardcoded to "Freescale Semiconductor", and the
machine string is defined in pq2ads.h. What should show_cpuinfo() print ?
Should the vendor be the board vendor or the CPU vendor ? What about the
machine ?
Ah, I missed that.  I'd just get rid of "Vendor" altogether, and include
the vendor name in the machine name.
Is there any standard/documentation regarding what show_cpuinfo should print ? 
Should it show CPU information only, or board information as well ? What 
about the memory size, clock settings, ... ? What are the meanings 
of "vendor" and "machine" ?
