Subject: [PATCH 4.9 08/24] mips: cm: reprime error cause

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vladimir Kondratiev <vladimir.kondratiev@...ux.intel.com>

commit 05dc6001af0630e200ad5ea08707187fe5537e6d upstream.

Accordingly to the documentation
---cut---
The GCR_ERROR_CAUSE.ERR_TYPE field and the GCR_ERROR_MULT.ERR_TYPE
fields can be cleared by either a reset or by writing the current
value of GCR_ERROR_CAUSE.ERR_TYPE to the
GCR_ERROR_CAUSE.ERR_TYPE register.
---cut---
Do exactly this. Original value of cm_error may be safely written back;
it clears error cause and keeps other bits untouched.
