The support was for this was mainlined 13 years ago, in v2.6.25
[0e0fffe887] just around the ppc --> powerpc migration.
I believe the board was introduced a year or two before that, so it
is roughly a 15 year old platform - with the CPU speed and memory size
that was typical for that era.
I haven't had one of these boards for several years, and availability
was discontinued several years before that.
Given that, there is no point in adding a burden to testing coverage
that builds all possible defconfigs, so it makes sense to remove it.
Of course it will remain in the git history forever, for anyone who
happens to find a functional board and wants to tinker with it.

We have several "defconfigs" that are not actually full defconfigs
they are just a base set of options which are then merged with other
fragments to produce a working defconfig.
The most obvious example is corenet_basic_defconfig which only
contains one symbol CONFIG_CORENET_GENERIC=y. And in fact if you build
it as a "defconfig" that one symbol ends up undefined, because its
prerequisites are missing.
There is also mpc85xx_base_defconfig which doesn't actually enable
CONFIG_PPC_85xx.
To avoid confusion, rename these config fragments to "foo_base.config"
to make it clearer that they are not full defconfigs and are instaed
just fragments that are used to generate real defconfigs.
