Hi Michal,

Kim is more knowledgeable on the 8349 boards than me, I only have a 
MPC8360-MDS-PB board.

The problem is that you have defined (per my directions) 
CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP which means that it will call-out to 
ft_board_setup() to do board-specific setup.

There are two possibilities:
1) I'm wrong and you don't want to define CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP.
2) You need to implement an appropriate ft_board_setup() and friends 
using the LIBFDT functions.

Number 2 is the more likely possibility.  Your error message is 
indicating that you need to port your mpc8349emds board-specific setup 
from the old CONFIG_OF_FLAT_TREE methods (which call ft_get_prop(), 
etc.) to the New Improved[tm] CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT methods.

Kim Phillips may have done this adaptation already, I believe what you 
really want to do is to clone Kim's u-boot-83xx repo and start there 
(either on the "mpc83xx" branch or the "testing" branch).  If Kim has 
not done the adaptation yet, follow his lead on one of the other 83xx 
boards which he has done.

Best regards,
gvb
