| Subject | [PATCH 6/6] MIPS: Deprecate VPE Loader |
| Message-ID | <scTA6-6xn-25@gated-at.bofh.it> |
The MIPS remote processor driver (CONFIG_MIPS_RPROC) provides a more standard mechanism for using one or more VPs as coprocessors running separate firmware. Here we deprecate this mechanism before it is removed.
