I think patches 1 and 2 could be a single patch.

I'm having hard time understanding how things are built. Patch 3 
introduces 273 lines of new code in a file named p2020.c while only 
removing 23 lines and 44 lines from mpc85xx_{ds/rdb}.c. Then patches 4, 
5 and 6 exclusively modify p2020.c which was a completely new file added 
by patch 3. Why not making it correct from the beginning, that is merge 
patches 4, 5 and 6 in patch 3 ?

Or maybe p2020.c is not really new but is a copy of some previously 
existing code ? In that case it would be better to make it explicit, for 
history.
