Jason,

I sent Florian an update of some of his patches earlier, based on
cleanup patches I submitted for mv643xx_eth while testing his patch set.
I think, the patch set will play nicely on ARM but without PPC guys involved
in testing it, I guess it will break something there.

Florian is reusing the DT bindings from PPC and they are compatible, but
there parsing is also done within arch/ppc/sysdev/mv64360-dev.c and
maybe somewhere else. The current DT patches for mv643xx_eth will
reparse some properties again (and may break eth on ppc platforms
using mv643xx_eth).
