-msoft-float should not be removed.  Our consensus (made when I was
developing https://gcc.gnu.org/r13-6500) is -mabi=lp64s does *not*
disable floating point instructions, but only disable FPRs for passing
arguments and return values.  So w/o -msoft-float (or -mfpu=none) GCC is
allowed to generate FP instructions everywhere in kernel and it may
cause kernel FPD exception in the future.
