That would be fantastic, if I knew what to test.

If you look at the thread from last year, it seems that even there in 
Freescale, nobody knows exactly what triggers this.

There was the "orphan" config value, and I simply turned that into a 
devtree switch.

If you can find an answer inside Freescale, I can try to respin the 
patch to accommodate that knowledge.  But until then, this is the best I 
can do.

(And it's not a new board -- it's based on the 8315ERDB, and the 
orphaned symbol is apparently related to another 8315 board that never 
got released?)

Huh.  I thought I had.  I'll double-check.

Will see if I can do so.  I don't actually have any sort of MTA set up 
on this machine, hence these Thunderbirded messages.

Thanks again,
