I think so, but I cannot answer the before I've seen what TQ does  on
the TQM8347 :-(

As Tolunay explained: it's for consistency with existing boards.  And
I  really  think it does not hurt ao much to have both CONFIG_MPC834X
and CONFIG_MPC8349 in the board config file if this is  a  8349  only
board,  even  if  CONFIG_MPC8349 should never be used anywhere in the
code.
