Okay, I can safely ignore this then.  Wolfgang may be interested
though.  He's been doing some work to get 5121 support mainlined.

In general I take the approach that as much as possible firmware
should have devices in a sane state before booting the kernel just to
avoid doing board specific fixup stuff in the kernel tree.  But this
isn't law, just more of a rule of thumb that I go by.  2nd resort is
to create a board specific platform code file and put it there
(arch/powerpc/platforms/*).
