I'll change CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR to CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR. And only 
overwrite/define this value, when not already defined.

I did run MAKEALL 8xx and nothing broke. But you may be right. I'll check this 
again.

Some 8xx variants are missing here as well (e.g. CONFIG_MPC852T, 
CONFIG_MPC885).

CONFIG_8xx seems the way to go. I just noticed it and will use it in the next 
patch version.

Thanks.
