[PATCH] ppc32: Register definition for MPC85xx

Clemens,

This isn't going to get into the kernel tree.  I'm against putting  
full register definitions in like this because they are too difficult  
to maintain properly.  We currently have some 14 different 85xx  
devices today and the number is only going to grow larger.

If and when you need something specific in the immap_85xx please  
provide it as a patch along with the driver that you want in.  For  
certain devices like PCI, LBC, etc I've got no issue adding info into  
immap_85xx.  However, for devices like DUART, I2C, TSEC, etc I'm  
completely against the idea of having their register definitions in  
immap_85xx.
