Is http://opensource.freescale.com/git also an artifact?
It appears to be one year out of date.

Does the Freescale internal work flow into the public CVS?

Yeah!

Yes, I was anticipating (and I prefer) getting a vanilla kernel
working, and then tracking the offical kernels myself. But just to get
started, it can be helpful to have any essential out-of-tree
patches. For example, at least for v2.6.23, there are Freescale
patches like this:

Patch0          : linux-fsl-2.6.2x-E500V2_IEEE754_Interface.patch
Patch1          : linux-fsl-2.6.2x-E500V2_IEEE754_Math_Emulation.patch
Patch2          : linux-fsl-2.6.2x-E500V2_IEEE754_Trap.patch
Patch3          : linux-fsl-2.6.2x-E500V2_IEEE754_Fix_Bug.patch
Patch8          : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572_PLATFORM_SUPPORT-2.patch
Patch9          : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572_DEFCONFIG.patch 
Patch10         : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572_PME.patch
Patch12         : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572_PME_l7.patch
Patch13         : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572_TLU.patch
Patch14         : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC85xx_SMP_FIX.patch
Patch18         : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572DS_watchdog.patch
Patch19         : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572DS_NAND.patch
Patch20         : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572DS_NOR_NAND_dts.patch 
Patch25         : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572DS_SEC.patch
Patch26         : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572DS_MSI.patch
Patch29         : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572DS_suspend_support.patch
Patch31         : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572DS_Add_PM_node.patch
Patch32         : linux-fsl-2.6.23-MPC8572DS_PM_SMP_support.patch

These appear to be significant, and it is hard for me to tell whether
they have made it upstream. Anyhow, I will work it out in time...

Thanks,
Richard
