Looks a lot better, thanks!

Some minor nits and suggestions...

We don't want "xx" compatible entries; especially here it makes
no sense at all.  If the board is compatible to some other (older)
board, just name that board explicitly.

Maybe it would be good to use "PowerPC,e500" instead -- it would
make it easier to probe for the actual CPU type, that way.  Not
that Linux uses the name/compatible here at all ;-)

You should put an interrupt-parent in here, so you can get rid of
it in all the children.


And then there's the pci_bridge thing we're discussing on IRC, of
course -- basically, get rid of the pci_bridge pseudo-node, and
move the interrupt-map for the south-bridge devices into the
south-bridge node.
