[PATCH 1/2] mips: econet: add multi-vpe capability to EN751221

From: Caleb James DeLisle

Date: Tue Jul 28 2026 - 14:57:35 EST


EN751221 is a 34Kc so it has two VPEs (threads) but MIPS_SMP_MT
requires VEIC to be enabled in the interrupt controller, which only
became supported in
commit 2ee2a685ee83 ("irqchip/econet-en751221: Support MIPS 34Kc VEIC mode")

Register SMP_MT on startup and override init_secondary with CPU
interrupt unmasking as required by the EN751221 VEIC intc hardware.

The EN751221 family includes EN7512, RN7513, EN7521, EN7526.
They are based on single core MIPS 34Kc processors. To boot
