The point is that stuff existent in the current tree for the 82xx has 
limited functionality.  Take a look at 
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-embedded/2005-April/017948.html. 
Current source _does not_ contain any IRQ handlers & demux (which the 
patch adds), so the device will remain malfunction. Also the patch has 
some 8272 & PQ2FADS - specific bits.

There is no special `embedded` tree - use one from kernel.org or git 
repo if you need development version (http://www.kernel.org/git/).
