What is the best way to proceed? I need to be on current git since we
are integrating a wireless driver that is tracking current git and the
mac80211 work.

I have Phytec (pcm030) and Efika hardware but I don't have a 5200lite.
Our prototype hardware uses the pcm030 module on a custom baseboard.

The best thing for me would be to get a FEC driver merged. That is the
largest piece of code  that is floating around. Getting that merged
would give me a stable base to build future patches on.

I'd also like to get support for the pcm030 (minus real-time) merged.
That isn't a lot of code once FEC is in the kernel.

Domen has posted this driver "[RFC PATCH v0.1] net driver: mpc52xx
fec". I can work on breaking that up, but I don't have a 5200lite so I
will have to port to pcm030. I don't want to start on this if someone
else is already doing it.
