[PATCH] powerpc/85xx: do not force PHYS_64BIT on Freescale reference boards

Kconfig option PHYS_64BIT sets the size of phys_addr_t to 64 bits, which
allows support for a 36-bit physical address space.  With this option, the
kernel can support more than 2GB of RAM, but the larger address size
impacts performance slightly.

By including "select PHYS_64BIT" in the Kconfig for a particular board,
that option is forced enabled, and it becomes impossible to create a 32-bit
kernel.  Instead, we should depend on the defconfig to enable this option.
We still build a 36-bit kernel by default, and we also allow users to build
32-bit kernels if they really want.
