Last I asked him (yesterday) he was cleaning up the patches to post a
first batch. So soon, yes.

Note that there are still things that we might want to change. For
example, I think we really should look into adding a macro mecanism
and/or an include mecanism to dtc so that we can do things like #include
<ibm440gp.dtc> to get the base processor/SoC definition and then
"overlay" some properties on top of it (like emac phy mode etc...)

Cheers,
Ben.
