I may have misunderstood something, but it seems like there is no such
problem on my P5600 system:

[fancer@mobilestation] kernel $ grep -r P5600 -B2 -A2 arch/mips/mm/c-r4k.c 
        case CPU_1004K:
        case CPU_INTERAPTIV:
        case CPU_P5600:
        case CPU_PROAPTIV:
        case CPU_M5150:
--
        case CPU_P6600:
        case CPU_M6250:
                pr_info("MIPS P5600 is here\n");
                if (!(read_c0_config7() & MIPS_CONF7_IAR) &&
                    (c->icache.waysize > PAGE_SIZE))
