Thanks for the update. Maybe we can then rescue some of the valuable
content from linux-mips.org and mirror it somewhere else as well?

The code mentioned some patch by referring to a linux-mips.org
patchwork id, but without the service running, there is no chance to
understand the comment. So, once linux-mips.org is up and running
again, we might want to recover that referred patch and change the
comment to a lore.kernel.org Link (that may stay with us for longer)
or quickly find out if that comment is obsolete by now.
