I would request that you take a look at our current GE driver (msp85x0_ge.c) for the Sequoia platform and send us your feedback.  This is currently available on our ftp site ftp.pmc-sierra.com under /pub/linux/2.6.12/linux-2.6.12-rc3_L002.tar.gz.  The driver has been completely re-written and we welcome any feedback on the same.

The patches that have been generated for fixes that were made after this release are available under /pub/linux/2.6.12/patches-2.6.12-rc3_L002.  

We are in the process of generating a patch for the Sequoia platform (for the MSP85x0) to be submitted to Linux/MIPS.  Note that we will be having a separate GE driver for the MSP85x0, while the old Titan GE driver (titan_ge.c) would support the Titan (RM912x) chip on the Yosemite platform.  FYI, the MSP85x0 is the new name for the RM915x device.
