Yes, please, I'll appreciate very much.
Currently I'm working of 2.6.22 kernel version, but I can test it on
the 2.6.24 as well.
I've found also this patch that should enable the native spi on my mpc52xx
http://cba.si/slefika/kernel/patches/mpc5200-spi.patch
but I've various problems: first of all, if I select to enable that
SPI using menuconfig, the relative CONFIG_SPI_MPC5200=y is saved in
the .config file, but when I start the compilation that setting
disappears and the file is skipped.
Forcing CONFIG_SPI_MPC5200=y by hand I got the following errors:

The device tree describes the hardware; even if there isn't a driver
for it. The non-PSC SPI does not have a driver right now.
I'm actually working on a driver for it *right now*. Are you able to
help with testing?
