I've changed the author tag in the changeset to you now, and
noted the fact that Richard submitted it.

Ok, good to hear that you're still interested! I don't get the impression
that migrating ixp4xx to DT is urgent in any way, but I also don't think
it will be too much work. If all you want to do is allow the board files
to be replaced with DT, then I assume you need bindings for the flash,
ethernet and CF devices and convert the interrupt controller to use
irq domains. For PCI, it should be enough to provide a generic map_irq
function that uses the standard interrupt-maps property. That function
can even be defined in a way that is usable independent of the platform.
