Looks like we need a u-boot update for 405Ex Kilauea board.
Mine (U-Boot 1.3.0-rc3-gccc2fe86-dirty (Oct 25 2007 - 12:18:41))
fails to boot with new cpu node changes:

    Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
    Booting using the fdt at 0x400000
le to update property /cpus/PowerPC,405EX at 0:timebase-frequency, 
err=FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND
Unable to update property /cpus/PowerPC,405EX at 0:clock-frequency, 
err=FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND

Thanks,
Valentine.
