I don;t think so. There are some problems in this code, for example
the clocks seem to be wrong. Not toi menthin that the whole code is
hoplessly old and without chance of ever being merged into mainline.

Extracting just the sources from LTIB (without actually building all
of it) is indeed not exactly easy.

Be careful. There are several branches that are intended for reference
only, or reflect work in progress. These are usually not intended for
use real use in a project:

The "ltib-mpc5121ads-20090602" branch reflects the exact state of the
kernel contained in the LTIB with this name (dated July 2009, despite
the name; based at 2.6.24.6, i. e. 7+ kernel versions behind).

The "mpc512x" branch contains a much smaller subset of drivers, but is
based on a more recent kernel tree (2.6.31-rc5) and is the base of our
(currently dozing) attempts to push this code into mainline.

Do not do this. This old repository was intended for co-operation
with John Rigby, when he was still working for Freescale. It is a
dead end and totally unsupported. Guess I should remove it. Indeed.
Removed now. Sorry for the confusion.

Best regards,
