The comments on top are mailny about MPC860T CPUs (PowerPC), however the driver is no longer used for these CPUs. Maybe the wording should be changed to: This driver is now only used on ColdFire (m68knommu) processors. Conditional PowerPC code has been removed.
Yes, that certainly makes more sense, although IMHO the second sentence is still somewhat redundant. (My problem was mainly with the second sentence. I should have made that more clear, sorry.)
