ok but e.g., patch 1 in this series omits the MPC837XERDB, which needs
to be fixed.

I was curious so I compiled the ELBC CONFIG_ list, in case you want to
change patch 1 in the series to _delete_ the entries in the board
configs and add them as pointed out in this patch:

MPC831x
MPC837x
MPC8536
MPC8569
MPC8572

and, of course, the Pxxxx's.
