+Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
+---------------------------------------------------------
+The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
+"firmware".
+This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
+are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
+within that device.
+
+- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
+ Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
+ The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
+ meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
+ is also specified.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
+ The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
+ has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
+ might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
+ local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
+ Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
+ normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
+ virtual address in NOR flash.
