Linus,

Please do a pull from the "merge" branch of

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git

There are 3 commits there: an update to MAINTAINERS, a fix for the
"Maple" PPC970FX evaluation boards, and a fix for the Freescale
embedded 8272 processor that is apparently needed for the console to
work on those chips.  These fixes won't affect any other platforms and
are safe to go in for 2.6.17 IMO.

Thanks,
Paul.

    [PATCH] powerpc: fix RTC/NVRAM accesses on Maple
    
    Due to a firmware device tree bug, RTC and NVRAM accesses (including
    halt/reboot) on Maple have been broken since January, when an untested
    build fix went in. This code patches the device tree in Linux.

    [PATCH] ppc32 CPM_UART: various fixes for pq2 uart users
    
    This fixes various odd things that missed update together with cpm_uart
    platform_device move. Unified resources names, restructurisation, etc.
    Also, addressed issue with recent phys/virt translation rework. Being
    cache-coherent, CPM2's do alloc_bootmem() for the console stuff, and it was
    used to treat console buffer descriptor mapping 1:1 (as in CPM1 case),
    which is definitely wrong.
