The support in 2.6.37 seems to be for the CPU Freescale MPC5121 and the
board ADS512101. The support files for MPC5125 and TWR-MPC5125 are
missing. The names TWR-MPC5125 or "mpc5125-twr are nowhere mentioned.

E.g linux-2.6.29/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc5125-twr.dts is missing in
linux-2.6.37

linux-2.6.37/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc5121ads.dts is different to
linux-2.6.29/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc5125-twr.dts

The CPUs MPC5125 and MPC5121 are similar, but are not the same.
Currently I don't know the exact differences and cannot decide which
code for MPC5121 runs also on MPC5125.

Best regards
