Re: [next] mips-mt.c:233:19: error: conflicting types for 'mt_init'

[Liam Howlett]

Hello Randy,

I did address this when it occurred on the 24th [1].  I had looked at
this and was thinking I would rename the maple tree function, but
Matthew suggested renaming the mips function instead.  I looked into the
conflict and the arch/mips/kernel/mips-mt.c uses the mips_ prefix for
almost all of the functions. So I generated a patch on my tree for
next-20220225 which fixes the issue by renaming the mips side of things.
Please see 51e773764d11 for the very small rename.

Thanks,
Liam
