Do you really need your own defconfig?  Can you instead add support
for your board to ppc44x_defconfig?  Josh is the maintainer here, so
it is his decision, but on 5200 stuff I've been pushing back on adding
yet-another-board-specific-defconfig when there isn't a really
compelling reason to do so.  It adds a lot of lines for not a lot of
benefit.  Besides, if you add your board to the ppc44x_defconfig, you
gain the advantage of your code getting compiled by others more
frequently.
