Subject: [PATCH 6/6] MIPS: Deprecate VPE Loader
Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2016 10:59:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1472810395-21381-7-git-send-email-matt.redfearn@imgtec.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1472810395-21381-1-git-send-email-matt.redfearn@imgtec.com>
The MIPS remote processor driver (CONFIG_MIPS_RPROC) provides a more
standard mechanism for using one or more VPs as coprocessors running
separate firmware.
Here we deprecate this mechanism before it is removed.
