Re: [PATCH 00/13] MIPS: Convert Ingenic to a generic board

[Zhou Yanjie]

Hi Paul,

I'm not too sure if remove "cpu-feature-overrides.h" will cause some 
problems for X2000, because according to my current test on X2000, I 
found that it is somewhat different from the SoCs using XBurst1 CPU 
core, with the kernel source code provided by Ingenic, for example, we 
must configure "#define cpu_has_tlbinv 1" in "cpu-feature-overrides.h" 
to make the X2000 work normally, otherwise the kernel will get stuck. 
And X2000's interrupt controller has also been redesigned. If these 
differences make it impossible to share code, should we set a 
subdirectory of "xburst" and "xburst2" in "arch/mips/ingenic"? (I am 
just worried about this situation, so far I have not been able to 
successfully run the mainline kernel on X2000).

I have added some related engineers from Ingenic to CC

Thanks and best regards!
