Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] MIPS: Remove incorrect `cpu_has_fpu' overrides

Hi,

Forcing `cpu_has_fpu' to 1 is unsupported as it breaks the `nofpu' kernel
parameter and more recently also the CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT configuration
option. Remove the broken `cpu_has_fpu' overrides then for IP27 and IP30
systems.

This v2 of the series fixes a logical mistake in change descriptions.

Please apply.

Maciej

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] MIPS: IP30: Remove incorrect `cpu_has_fpu' override

Remove unsupported forcing of `cpu_has_fpu' to 1, which makes the `nofpu'
kernel parameter non-functional, and also causes a link error:

ld: arch/mips/kernel/traps.o: in function `trap_init':
./arch/mips/include/asm/msa.h:(.init.text+0x348): undefined reference to `handle_fpe'
ld: ./arch/mips/include/asm/msa.h:(.init.text+0x354): undefined reference to `handle_fpe'
ld: ./arch/mips/include/asm/msa.h:(.init.text+0x360): undefined reference to `handle_fpe'

where the CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT configuration option has been disabled.
