Anybody have an mpc5200b mscan linux driver under 2.6.24, ARCH=powerpc or equiv?

[Mike Timmons]

I'm trying to wrestle the peak CAN driver for the old, non-device-tree
ppc into submission but I'm making a mess of it so far.

I think I'll get it going at some point, but if anybody has or knows of
an mscan driver for the mpc5200 can you alert me?

Thanks,
Mike

Make sure that you park the bus on PCI, and elevate PCI's arbitration 
priority.  See fixup_pci() in arch/powerpc/boot/cuboot-pq2.c.

I haven't had a problem with PCI DMA when that is done, though I haven't

done significant stress testing.
