Hi Christoph,

Thanks for your reply. I undid all dma mapping commits with the 
following command:

git checkout 721c01ba8b46ddb5355bd6e6b3bbfdabfdf01e97

After that I compiled the kernels with this code for my P5020 board 
(Cyrus) and for my PASEMI board (Nemo) today.

Result: PASEMI onboard ethernet works again and the P5020 board boots.

It seems the dma mapping commits are the problem.

@All
Could you please test Christoph's kernel on your PASEMI and NXP boards? 
Download:

'git clone git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc.git -b powerpc-dma.5 a'

Thanks,
Christian
