Just some improvement to the commit message so it's clearer:

"The current LoongArch kernel stack is padded as if obeying the MIPS o32 
calling convention, signifying the port's MIPS lineage but no longer

I think this blank line between the "Link" and S-o-b tags could be removed.

Otherwise LGTM, assuming you have tested it before sending (I don't 
currently have the capacity to immediately test this for you)...
