No, this was not tested on board. :(
I tried my best to get a board but it seems board sellers in India have
not even heard the name of "mn10300". I tried contacting Koichi
Yasutake (one of the maintainer of mn10300) in hope of getting/buying
a board, but email of Koichi Yasutake is bouncing. I tried to contact
the company about one of their board and the following is their reply:
"As you say, linux runs on MN103E0700.
But MN103E0700 is now EOL, so we need not to maintenace linux."

Should i resend as it is or should i fix according to your suggestion?
or since this is arch specific changes and not tested on board so if you
want it can be dropped also.

yes, cc became a long list but it was also improper to send some part of
the series to few maintainer and other to some other maintainers.
