Hi Florian,

There exists the following three ways to do it, I'm fine either way,
maybe the first way looks better. Let us wait for the MIPS maintainer
to say what he prefer.

Hi Thomas,

What is your opinion?

1 just use CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R2

3 add new 34k-bugs32.c and CONFIG_CPU_34K_BUGS32

just as this v2 patch:

Thanks,
