Yes, I know, but it does not work properly because the "device_type =
"soc" is missing :-(. I did not realize that immediately, sorry. Could

for the time being.

Thanks.

Wolfgang.


[PATCH] powerpc/85xx: Re-add the device_type soc to socrates.dts

The device_type "soc" is still required for MPC85xx boards.
