[PATCH] Add fec support for mpc52xx

[John Rigby]

Sylvain has not added bestcomm/fec to his latest tree yet:

http://gitbits.246tNt.com/gitbits/linux-2.6-mpc52xx

you need to apply this patch:

http://gitbits.246tNt.com/patches/bcomm-to-split.diff

The patches I sent to the list are just newer bestcomm code from
freescale and an fec driver that works with it.  I don't make
any claims about it being better just newer and different.

 (I haven't cleanly splitted it up yet and right now I must go, so it's
probably gonna be in the git tree this week, under the 'bestcomm' head ;)
