[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH 00/24] PowerPC linker script rework

[grant.likely at secretlab.ca]

This patchset cleans consolidates most of the linker files for the mpc5xx,
mpc5xxx, mpc82xx and mpc83xx architectures.  This is the start of a push
to reduce the number of duplicate files in the source tree.

There are two parts to this patch set.  The 'consolidate' patches add the
new common linker scripts and modifies the board ports to use them.  These
changes *should* be okay, but they must be tested.  The 'remove obsolete'
changes simply remove the no-longer-required files.

Most of the consolidated linker scripts are nearly identical, but I did
come across a few variations which I think are minor and can be safely
ignored.  However, I have not been able to test this as I don't have
access to most of the boards.  There was also a handful of boards which
have more complex differences in their linker scripts.  For now I've left
those board ports using their original scripts.

If you currently using any of the affected boards; please test!  I would like
to apply this changeset to mainline in about a month or so.  I've verified
that all the board ports do compile, but I of course cannot test if they
still work.

Cheers,
g.
