[U-Boot] mpc85xx boards

Hi York,
There are about 258 mpc85xx boards. In converting things to Kconfig quite a bit of the work comes in this area. I am just wondering if all these boards are still needed, or it would be possible to prune them a bit? I see you have already done a bit of this.
Regards, Simon

I tried to drop some old 85xx boards but got resistance from our silicon support team. There is a demand to maintain those SoCs still shipping.

Hi York,
OK...so all 250 are needed? Is there a plan to convert to Kconfig / DM?

I am not in a position to decide which board to drop. I can try my best to convert them.
