So, like, the other day Segher Boessenkool mumbled:

Yep, "StorCenter" is it.  No model numer/name beyond that.

Right.  Will use:
	compatible = "iomega,storcenter"

Well, its the 8241 SoC with a 603e core...  (This is
the same phrase currently being used on the Kurobox.)
I'll use:

	PowerPC,8241 at 0 }

Right.  boot{loader,wrapper}

It's what is being used, again, by the Kurobox.  I understand
that doesn't make it "right", just precedented by now.

How about "soc8241 at 80000000" instead?

That would be similar to:
        soc8641 at f8000000 {
and
       soc8272 at f0000000 {

OK.

Right.

Hmmm...  Not sure what to use here then.  There are many
existing examples using "fsl-i2c" already.  Granted, we've
established that they could be wrong...  Should this be
more like this?:

    compatible = "fsl,mpc8241-i2c", "fsl-i2c";

OK.

Good point. 66666666 seems more likely...


Thanks for the review and help here!
