I've applied some 3 patches from John Ribgy to add 5121 PCI support.   
These are intended for .28, but should be clean against .27.

They are:
powerpc/fsl: Hide MPC5121 pci bridge.
powerpc: 83xx: pci: Remove need for get_immrbase from  
mpc83xx_add_bridge.
powerpc/5121: Add PCI support.

And can be found in:
