Re: [PATCH 6/6] MIPS: CPS: drop .set mips64r2 directives

Show all headers | View raw

Ralf: is there a reason you've only applied patch 1 of this series?

v4.2 is broken because these didn't get in (despite being submitted well
before the release), and master is still broken because they still
haven't gotten in. If there's a reason you didn't merge them please let
me know, otherwise please can we get them in ASAP.

Thanks,
    Paul
