Overall I'm just going to trust you that things aren't broken on 47x :)

A few minor comments below.  Also, if Torez and Benh contributed to this code,
then their S-o-b lines should be included as well (same goes for any other
patch).

Is that really needed?  None of the 44x CPUs have a PVR value here.

Could we use PVR_476 here (if it's going to stay).

Why do this?  All it seems to do is add a bunch of churn to the Kconfig here.
If the intention was to try and prevent selecting both 44x and 47x kernel
options, then maybe I could see that.  However nothing prevents both from being
enabled.  Maybe PPC_47x should:

depends on !PPC_44x_46x && 44x
