Emn, sorry, don't know about 8248 and 8260 specifically, but just looking 
at notation 8248 should be closer to 8245 than to 8260, is it not?

If there are enough similarities, you might also look at 
arch/powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/linkstation.c for an example of such a 
ppc -> powerpc migration. Not that I considered it an ideal example to 
follow. Rather, if it helps you - good. If you find anything that can be 
improved there - would be happy to know.

Thanks
