Maybe it would be better to blame the original vDSO commit then?

Fixes: ebb5e78cc634 ("MIPS: Initial implementation of a VDSO")

I cannot build with LLVM back that far but something tells me that this
could happen back then too just because .got is not described there. I
don't have a strong opinion though, this does not appear to be a
functional issue since llvm-readelf just falls back to using .dynamic
directly IIUC. I guess tglx could make the call during application if he
is okay with that?
