Hi,

Is the driver for SPI in mpc8xx availbale online. If yes where can i get it. I read that the kernel needs to be patched with the microcode before using the SPI drivers if available.And the option is also availbale in the menuconfig. What happens when it is patched?

Thanks
Sanjeev

The parameter RAM gets shifted to avoild the overlaps.
