Sorry, I am still using PPCBoot V1.6 and made a quick hack for some performance
tests.

Hope, this helps for a good patch.

I couldn't neither. I patched the orginal check_CPU function for MPC855
and inserted a call like this:
+ case 0x07000003:
+ return (check_CPU_MPC857_HACK(clock, pvr, immr));
+ break;
so function check_CPU_MPC857_HACK is almost a copy of check_CPU.
the main differences in compare to check_CPU was this:
+ char pre = 'X';
+ char *mid = "xx";
+ char *suf;
...
+ switch(k) {
+ case 0x07000003: mid = "T"; suf = "B"; m = 1; break;
+ default: suf = NULL; break;
+ }
...
+ if (suf)
+ printf ("%cPC857%sZPnn%s", pre, mid, suf);
+ else
+ printf ("unknown MPC857 (0x%08x)", k);
+
+ printf(" at %s MHz:", strmhz(buf, clock));

This would be really nice, that is the reason why I first tried the hack like
above, but we would have to modify some part of the macro concept.

I also thought to that, but it is not so easy, because of at least the
following Macros showed below.
We have our board with a MPC855T 50 MHz and two prototypes with a MPC857T 100
MHz. The CPU-Clock cannot be detected automatically. We need at
least the following differences:
#elif defined(CONFIG_100MHz) /* for 100 MHz = "50 MHz" |= SCCR_EBDF01 */
#define CFG_SCCR (SCCR_TBS | SCCR_EBDF01 | \
SCCR_COM00 | SCCR_DFSYNC00 | SCCR_DFBRG00 | \
SCCR_DFNL000 | SCCR_DFNH000 | SCCR_DFLCD000 | \
SCCR_RTSEL | SCCR_DFALCD00)
#define CFG_PLPRCR ( (4-1)<<PLPRCR_MF_SHIFT | PLPRCR_TEXPS | PLPRCR_TMIST )
#define CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ 100000000
#else /* up to 50 MHz we use a 1:1 clock (CLKOUT=GCLK2) */
#define CFG_SCCR (SCCR_TBS | \
SCCR_COM00 | SCCR_DFSYNC00 | SCCR_DFBRG00 | \
SCCR_DFNL000 | SCCR_DFNH000 | SCCR_DFLCD000 | \
SCCR_RTSEL | SCCR_DFALCD00)
#define CFG_PLPRCR ( (2-1)<<PLPRCR_MF_SHIFT | PLPRCR_TEXPS | PLPRCR_TMIST )
#define CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ 50000000
#endif /* CONFIG_...MHz */
also CFG_MAMR_PTA should be modified.
