What about you getting all the review & testing done and then we
(Xilinx) will add the OF support to the driver? 

I doubt the powerpc mainline will take the driver without OF support. In
fact, we had to remove the platform bus support from the last driver
that we put into mainline for arch/powerpc.
  
That is perfectly fine with me. i will try to pull the xilinx git tree
and see how much closer I can make the probe so that converting will be
easier.

xilinx_lltemac is the preferred. 

I don't think using xilinx_lltemac should cause problems.  Our Xilinx
Git tree has a xilinx_lltemac subdir that contains the non-flat driver
but that should be ok with your xilinx_lltemac.c file in the net
directory.
  
The next patch incarnation will have everything as xilinx_lltemac -
including the file as xilinx_lltemac.c
