I want the MIPS folks to fix this brain damange.

This runtime detect thing is just a big mess in a header file
using hundreds of lines of CPP stuff to express what is fundamentally
a simple (albeit sizable) Kconfig dependency.

And this ifdef virus spreads from that header file now into this
driver.

How can it possibly make sense to have this "maybe it's static at
build time, maybe it's dynamic" coded into every single piece of code
for platform drivers or any other thing related to this set of MIPSs
cpus?

It's rediculous, and I refuse to add code to my tree which continues
this trend, sorry.
