[PATCH] powerpc/5200: Update defconfigs

It seems to me like what's confused in the defconfigs is two concepts:
1) The requirements of a platform (what options must be set and must not
be set)
2) The guarantee that a particular config was known to work at some
point in time.

The first could allow you to drop 99% of the options (I think that this
mainly what Linus objects to)
The second is better handled with testing anyway (assuming that all of
the unmentioned options are, in fact, unset)
