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 v3 of the series adds credit to Stephen for reporting the issue,
which I forgot on previous iterations.
Please apply.
Maciej
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.

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a
good idea. [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
