I just checked the archives and found that Marri posted patches for another 
460SX board (Eiger) support in December 2010:

He didn't reply upon the requested changes though:

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2010-December/083417.html

Marri (or somebody else from APM): Do you plan to support the 460SX boards? 
Then please let us know.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
