You'll need to collect ACKs, or get the individual patches merged, and then we
can take patch 8 through the powerpc tree once those are all in - probably for
4.2.

It looks like CONFIG_8xx is used a lot more than CONFIG_PPC_8xx, so it
would be less churn to get rid of the latter (plus, we also have
CONFIG_4xx, CONFIG_6xx, etc).  The only use of PPC_8xx I see outside
arch/powerpc is in drivers/watchdog/Kconfig.

Ok, we can do that. But when outside of arch/powerpc/, isn't is more 
explicit with CONFIG_PPC_8xx rather that CONFIG_8xx ?

Yes, CONFIG_PPC_8xx is a better name, but churn and consistency matter
as well.

Now that I have submitted the first set of patch, don't we have a risk 
that now it is already merged by some other maintainers ?

Sigh.  I see a couple in linux-next.
