I just checked the nine years old initial version of 405gp_pci.c:

http://ppcboot.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ppcboot/ppcboot/cpu/ppc4xx/405gp_pci.c?revision=1.1&view=markup

I do not see that this file has anything in common with the current 4xx_pci.c code!
One could say that setting up the PMM registes looks a little as is comes
from the old IBM code, but can writing zeros into some registers really stop us from
cleaning up this license issue?

If so, I see no way to reach the GPL cleanup goal.

I will submit a cleanup patch for the 4xx_pci.c when we are common in this point.
I also request "Ack-bys" at least from you and Stefan on my patch to not have one
foot in the grave :-)

Matthias
