Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] MIPS: build: Fix "-modd-spreg" switch usage when compiling for mips32r6

From: Miodrag Dinic <miodrag.dinic@...tec.com>

Add "-modd-spreg" when compiling the kernel for mips32r6 target.

This makes sure the kernel builds properly even with toolchains that
use "-mno-odd-spreg" by default. This is the case with Android gcc.
Prior to this patch, kernel builds using gcc for Android failed with
following error messages, if target architecture is set to mips32r6:
