I've had only a brief look. In general I recommend doing whatever
openrisc does, they are currently the best implementation we have.

In order to get the code merged, you will need to move probing
of on-chip buses to device trees rather than hardcoding the
platform devices, that is probably the largest amount of work
that is still needed unless you've done that already in a later
version.

Do you have a git tree or patch with the latest source code?
the only copy I could find is a 2.6.37 kernel inside of a huge
tarball.
