Sorry, maybe Ben and I aren't being clear. 405GP (Walnut) support is
in arch/powerpc. There is also support for 405EX and 405EXr. The
arch/ppc tree is going to die in June, whether the rest of the 405
boards are ported or not.
So are you trying to add defines for a new board, or? I don't see much
of a reason not to go ahead and do what you're doing now rather than
later but I'll leave that up to you :)
