[PATCH v2 1/4] MIPS: Introduce WAR_4KC_LLSC config option

From: Jiaxun Yang
Date: Wed Jun 12 2024 - 05:53:48 EST


WAR_4KC_LLSC is used to control workaround of 4KC LLSC issue
that affects 4Kc up to version 0.9.

Early ath25 chips are known to be affected.

v2:
- Improve error message, taint kernel on error
- Don't override cpu_has_llsc if WAR_4KC_LLSC is not selected,
cpu-probe logic can handle it, there is no need to mess around
ifdef as suggested in previous review comments as WAR_4KC_LLSC
is gated by SOC_AR5312.
