I don't care much about which copyright notices  you  have  in  files
that  belong  only to boards maintained by you (as long as it's clear
that  they  come  under   GPL   or   a   compatible   license).   But
"include/asm-ppc/mmu.h"    or    "include/asm-ppc/processor.h"    are
definitely NOT copyrighted by Freescale.

Also, removing existing names from files etc. will not be accepted.
