#1474991 — [PATCH 6/6] MIPS: Deprecate VPE Loader

FromMatt Redfearn <matt.redfearn@imgtec.com>

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.
