That has the risk of breaking user's defconfig files, but given the
small number of users, it may be nicer for consistency. In either
case, the two symbols should probably hang around as synonyms,
the question is just which one is user visible.

Not sure it is a good idea to keep two synonyms. In the past we made our
best to remove synonyms (We had CONFIG_8xx and CONFIG_PPC_8xx being
synonyms, we had CONFIG_6xx and CONFIG_BOOK3S_32 and
CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_32 being synonyms).
I think it is a lot cleaner when we can avoid synonyms.

Ok, fair enough.

By the way I already dropped CONFIG_4xx in previous patch (8/11). It was
not many 4xx changed to 44x. It would be a lot more in the other way
round I'm afraid.

Right. Maybe stay with 44x for both then (as in your current patches), as it
means changing less in a part of the code that has few users anyway.
