Driver - HDLC 83xx QUICC Engine??

[Russell McGuire]

Jocke,

I ran across this patch doing some looking around. It isn't in the kernel I
downloaded a while ago and have been working with, and I am not sure of the
real extents of its support.

Maybe Kim or Kumar can fill us in, on if it is what we are looking for.

In any regards, it definitely looks like something we should be checking
out.
