Libraries are now .o files, not .a files.  Take a look at the other Makefiles to
see how they've recently changed.

What exactly happens here?  If you run out of memory, you return a pointer
anyway?  Shouldn't you return NULL here or something?

Just FYI, this code will only work on systems that have NOR flash mapped to I/O
space.  If the customer boots from NAND and doesn't have any NOR flash on his
board, then CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR will be invalid.  In addition, I don't see
any code that passes the value of CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR to the kernel via
"fman_ucode".

Why do we sometimes do "asm("sync");" and sometimes we do "__asm__ __volatile__
("sync");"?  And why do we have hard-coded asm anyway?  There is a sync()
function that does this already.

If you're going to do a timeout, do it the same way everyone else does.  Start
with the timeout value, and decrement the variable.  Something like this:

	timeout = 0x10000; (why a hex number anyway?)
	while (!(txbd->status & TxBD_READY) && --timeout)
		udelay(1000);

Delete this "return ;".  It doesn't do anything.
