still problems on a bcm47xx build:

mips64-linux-gnu-ld: arch/mips/bcm47xx/prom.o: in function `prom_init':
/local/tbogendoerfer/korg/linux/arch/mips/bcm47xx/prom.c:(.init.text+0x3c): undefined reference to `bmips_cbr_addr'
mips64-linux-gnu-ld: /local/tbogendoerfer/korg/linux/arch/mips/bcm47xx/prom.c:(.init.text+0x44): undefined reference to `bmips_cbr_addr'
