Such configuration is not supported, see arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype:

config PPC_E500MC
bool "e500mc Support"
select PPC_FPU
select COMMON_CLK
depends on E500
help
This must be enabled for running on e500mc (and derivatives
such as e5500/e6500), and must be disabled for running on
e500v1 or e500v2.

Based on this option you can enable either support for e500v1/e500v2 or
for e500mc. But not both.
