Here's the main MIPS pull request for v5.1:
- Support for the MIPSr6 MemoryMapID register & Global INValidate TLB
(GINVT) instructions, allowing for more efficient TLB maintenance when
running on a CPU such as the I6500 that supports these.
- Enable huge page support for MIPS64r6.
- Optimize post-DMA cache sync by removing that code entirely for kernel
configurations in which we know it won't be needed.
- The number of pages allocated for interrupt stacks is now calculated
correctly, where before we would wastefully allocate too much memory
in some configurations.
- The ath79 platform migrates to devicetree.
- The bcm47xx platform sees fixes for the Buffalo WHR-G54S board.
- The ingenic/jz4740 platform gains support for appended devicetrees.
- The cavium_octeon, lantiq, loongson32 & sgi-ip27 platforms all see
cleanups as do various pieces of core architecture code.
MIPS: lantiq: Remove separate GPHY Firmware loader
The separate GPHY Firmware loader driver is not used any more, the GPHY
firmware is now loaded by the GSWIP switch driver which also makes use
of the GPHY.
Remove the old unused GPHY firmware loader driver.
The GPHY firmware is useless without an Ethernet and switch driver, it
should not harm if loading this does not work for system using an old
device tree.
I am not aware of any vendor separating the device tree from the kernel
binary, it should be ok to remove this.
The code and the functionality form this separate GPHY firmware loader
was added to the gswip driver in commit 14fceff4771e ("net: dsa: Add
Lantiq / Intel DSA driver for vrx200")
