That forces every board to copy/paste the fabric driver and then makes tweaks to it even if it doesn't need board specific code.
Not at all. There's no reason we can't create a generic fabric driver that does no board-level programming. I haven't done it because the MPC8610 does need that kind of programming, and it's based on the information I get from the SSI driver. But you could just as easily take my fabric driver and make it generic. I don't know who would use it, though.
