 Probably we (me and Ilya) overdone with posting katmai.dts-related=20
changes to ML, and duplicated the same patches in different posts.=20
Sorry for the confusion. These nodes are necessary for the ppc440spe=20
ADMA driver:

 No, we just selected the description which looked more appropriate=20
for our case: SysAce is connected to the External Bus Controller of=20
440SPe, which in turns is attached as a slave to OPB (on-chip=20
peripheral).
