No.

I just checked some existing arch/ppc defconfig files (and arch/powerpc too). 
Most if not all have MATH_EMULATION not set. Even on those PPC's without FPU. 
I assume we see no problems since soft-float is used while compiling.

Anyways, I'll change this and resubmit.

No, I don't think it is needed. As all 405 PPC's, the 405EX is 32bit only. 
I'll change this too.

Yes, good catch. Since I'm not using the bootwrapper, I should be able to get 
rid of WANT_DEVICE_TREE too. But it seems to be autoselected in 
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype for 40x and most other "embedded" 
CPU's. Any idea why this is the case?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
