Hello! Do you have any comments for this patch series?

I think patches 1 and 2 could be a single patch.

I'm having hard time understanding how things are built. Patch 3 
introduces 273 lines of new code in a file named p2020.c while only 
removing 23 lines and 44 lines from mpc85xx_{ds/rdb}.c. Then patches 4, 
5 and 6 exclusively modify p2020.c which was a completely new file added 
by patch 3. Why not making it correct from the beginning, that is merge 
patches 4, 5 and 6 in patch 3 ?

Or maybe p2020.c is not really new but is a copy of some previously 
existing code ? In that case it would be better to make it explicit, for 
history.

This patch series unifies all P2020 boards and machine descriptions into
one generic unified P2020 machine description. With this generic machine
description, kernel can boot on any P2020-based board with correct DTS
file.

Tested on CZ.NIC Turris 1.1 board with has Freescale P2020 processor.
Kernel during booting correctly detects P2020 and prints:
[    0.000000] Using Freescale P2020 machine description

Changes in v2:
* Added patch "p2020: Move i8259 code into own function" (separated from the next one)
* Renamed CONFIG_P2020 to CONFIG_PPC_P2020
* Fixed descriptions
