The P4080 silicon device tree was using PowerPC,4080 while the other
e500mc based SoCs used PowerPC,e500mc. Use the core name to be
consistent going forward.

Why are we not using the generic names recommendation?
Is the "PowerPC" vendor string still appropriate here, or should we use
"fsl"?

And what about a compatible property?

Shouldn't we change the nodes for all e500 based device trees in one
shot, instead of just the P4080?

I have mixed feelings on this. The PowerPC,NAME has a long history & =
precedence. Is there any use or value to change this?

I changed all the e500mc class to match what is used by everyone else. =
The e500v1/e500v2 are use the same convention at this time so figured a =
separate patch can handle them.

It's inconsistent with all of our other compatibles. My understanding
is that for older chips, the naming was from a managed numberspace -- is
"e500" or "eXXXX" something that was explicitly granted to us by
power.org, or just something we started calling our cores?

The names for PPC cores are NOT granted by anyone. However, its pretty =
clear that FSLs current naming is:
e500v1
e500v2
e500mc
e5500
e6500
e600
e300c1
e300c2
e300c3
e300c4
e200..

So, it's fsl's namespace, and the vendor id should be fsl.
