This is only relevant for this SOC isn't it? If so, it might be better
to add it to arch/powerpc/platforms/40x/Kconfig.

The help line can be dropped (there's no prompt, so the help won't be
user visible).

Some people would suggest to use
	def_bool n

here. (I don't really care.)

Why is this "default y"? All other "selectors" of PPC40x_SIMPLE default
to n.

There was recently some powerpc related discussion on using "select" on
symbols that are themselves user selectable (see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/9/426 ). But other symbols already select
this symbol so this is not specific to this patch.

Since you're selecting it here it's good that you made
UART_16550_WORD_ADDRESSABLE hidden (as it has no prompt). But perhaps
you could even drop it and in the code just test for CONFIG_APM8018X. Or
are you expecting more users of UART_16550_WORD_ADDRESSABLE?
