I think new is a little relative here.  The MPC8232-RDB & MPC8360E- 
MDS boards worked with 2.6.21 and the UCC. They had support for the  
PHYs that Kim's listed built directly into the ucc driver and not as  
part of the phy lib.  Since we've moved to using the phy lib in  
2.6.22 we've broken these boards since their PHY drivers aren't  
currently in linus's tree.

Kim, correct me if I'm wrong.
