According to e-mail about pushing kernel 5.4 support to master, 5.4 was added as testing
kernel for supported targets. For mpc85xx, 5.4 was set as its default
kernel. (This technically also applies to ipq807x, but master has no
support for it on any prior kernel.)

I send this patch purely based on the content of the mentioned message.
I have tested 5.4 briefly on tl-wdr4900-v1, it boots and ethernet works. 
There may be reasons to prefer 5.4 over 4.19 on mpc85xx that I am
unaware of, and I'd appreciate any input.

While the switch was more or less unintentionally, i think we can leave mpc85xx
on 5.4. The target itself carries not a lot of patches despite hardware support.

Also I've tested Kernel 5.4 wit a variety of devices (WDR4900, RED 15w, Panda, AP330)
and all boards ran without an issue.

Best wishes
